Hi,
I believe the big issue is how to connect common knowledge of whatever
representation since we seem to have a narrow bandwidth of keeping track of
long sequences of information. It is not by chance for example that a forum
on cognitive linguisics cals for papers on the relations between cognitive
systems, their modular nature and interfaces. Therefore products that help
connect various modalities of knowledge representations, even befote they
are structured at an elementary level seem to be a winner: http://prezi.com/
