I have taken the last two notes, that you where kind enough to send to me, and have developed the type of response that I think you have asked for.

In this communication, I make a comparison between the Anticipatory Web and the Semantic Web. But perhaps I should say something about the nature of the BCNGroup Glass Beads Games.
We started the games in 1997, but only recently have we started to apply anticipatory technology to them. Soon, we will use this anticipatory technology to create a dynamic back of the book index over the concepts in one or more of the treads of the games.
These “bead games” are not an e-forum, but a means to describe for others to read the nature of a discussion between scholars. Our focus is on the concepts expressed and not on who is expressing. For example this tread is about the Semantic Web standards processes and the government's need for some type of knowledge presentation or some system in which knowledge can be evoked in predictable ways.

Beads can be edited to better reflect the discussion. We often do this type of editing. We try to show that a community of scientists has long been involved in a discussion that has not been published, but which is perhaps important to the social discourse.
For example, Paul Werbos and I have talked for now almost fifteen years on these issues.
Scientists need to talk about real time anticipation if we are to develop standard ways to exchange data.

The new term "Anticipatory Web (of information)" was coined recently.
