Abstract :
This paper provides an MMC perspective for the provision of cognitive support. First, an overview of cognitive operations and categorization of cognitive tools is given. It then briefly describes a cognitive support application based on the provision of semantic structures of content. The suggested tool is shown to provide an `operational´ dimension that extends its intrinsic nature as an `observable´ asset
