A dumb information system in the information supply chain can provide data that is often difficult for the customer to interpret and use. To help in this regard, machine intelligence based on some learning rules is introduced in this chapter. Architecture of the knowledge base and the rule base are explained. The acquired knowledge from the different sources is to be consolidated.


This chapter addresses the development of the information industry from the invention of the printing press to the present, using the publication and use of scientific journals as an illustrative case. For centuries after the first scientific journal was published in 1665, publication followed a relatively simple information supply chain model. In the late twentieth century, the information supply chain model changed rapidly and became far more complex. The growth of data and databases, university infrastructure spending, database directory production, and researchers’ information search patterns are identified as primary reasons for large-scale changes to the information supply chain. Examination of these four factors reveals current user needs that will drive innovation in the information industry.
