Volgens de legende die pas in de middeleeuwen ontstond, heette hij oorspronkelijk Reprobus en hoorde hij tot een aanzienlijke Cananese familie. Volgens deze legende was hij een reus die in dienst wilde treden van de machtigste heer. Toen hij merkte dat de machtige koning voor wie hij werkte bang was voor de duivel, bood hij zijn diensten aan de duivel aan. Maar toen hij zag dat de duivel angst toonde voor het beeld van de gekruisigde Christus, ging hij deze zoeken. Een kluizenaar vertelde hem over Christus en raadde hem aan pelgrims en kluizenaars over de gevaarlijke rivier te dragen om Christus welgevallig te zijn. Christoffel neemt deze taak op zich. Op zekere dag wordt hij door een kind verzocht hem de rivier over te brengen maar dra blijkt dat het kind als een onmogelijke last op zijn schouders drukt zodat hij slechts node de overkant haalt. Aan de oever maakt het kind zich bekend als Jezus Christus. (1) (2). Omdat hij tijdens zijn leven ook het geloof predikte en bekeerlingen maakte werd hij voor de rechter gedaagd en na lange en wrede folteringen gedood. mech_christopher_life_td_cl2_sl2_nl.doc

18. July 2002Project presentation REGNET 18 Knowledge structure and representation THE CHALLENGE Hierarchical browsingvsassociative, intuitive browsing one view multiple views defined by the author the way a user mentally organises content works with content One domain, databasemany domains, databases Infoglut search resultsmore precise search results

19. July 2002Project presentation REGNET 19 A TRACK TO THE SOLUTION KNOWLEDGE BASED INFORMATION RETRIEVAL ON TOP OF FRAGMENTED CULTURAL DATA STRUCTURES BOTH COMBINABLE INTO THEMATIC CONTEXTS Knowledge structure and representation

22. July 2002Project presentation REGNET 22 CHOOSEN PARADIGM: TOPIC MAPS CHARACTERISTICS:topics+ scope for names occurrences associations+ scope BUT:tools not yet completely mature many philosophical decisions to be made Knowledge structure and representation

23. July 2002Project presentation REGNET 23 THE REGNET APPROACH Develop a methodology for modular structuring of Topic Map elements to generate single or grouped elements till complete Topic Maps unilingual or multilingual elements and TMs separate sets of occurrences and topics/associations Knowledge structure and representation
