The Web 2.0 facilitates, through social networks, the retrieval and exploitation of knowledge that is expressly placed in the network.
The knowledge that can be generated from that expressly placed on the Web is the result of semantic relations that can be appreciated. Therefore, particular uses are necessary for the exploitation of the knowledge: the Semantic Web is intended for this.
But our idea is different. The information or the explicit knowledge stays stored in structures that provide knowledge which is not user-entered. Fact bases are used, being nothing more than the semantic confirmation of a reality. The stored knowledge is distributed by a structure of facts. The system not only collects information -explicit knowledge- provided directly by the user, but it stores the information in structures of facts, so that the information is stored in a broader knowledge structure. This knowledge is not generated by the user. It is generated by the system based on the information or knowledge provided by the user.
We must distinguish clearly between data, information and knowledge; between implicit or explicit knowledge; between a structure which store implicit knowledge and the rules for knowledge generation which are the rules which build explicit knowledge from implicit knowledge.
