EPISTLE - The European Process
Industries STEP Technical Liaison Executive. A rather contrived acronym
for a rich source of specifications and information from cooperative
efforts to exploit Generic Entity Model Framework in ...
EPISTLE Core Model, EPISTLE Reference Data Library, and EPISTLE Templates.
(Go
to the above also for in-context links to POSC Caesar, PISTEP, USPI-NL,
STEP, ISO SC4, PIEBASE, FIATECH OOF, ISO-15926, PLCS, SUO Project and a lot more
industrial information model standards.)
W3C - World Wide Web Consortium
The adopted home of Tim Berners-Lee inspired Semantic Web activities
and the major source of specifications for web technologies and
protocols.
ProcessML - a branded (but
nevertheless open) implementation of EPISTLE Templates, including the
only formal specification of these. Valuable proof of concept
implementation of the model itself, and also the W3C / XML protocols
needed to fully support "Reference Data" aspects.
(Draft for
republication as InfoWebML to
broaden beyond the process industry and offer for possible W3C publication.)
KnoW - Knowledge on the Web -
In its own words ... A collaborative
initiative bringing together industrial, commercial, governmental and
not-for-profit organizations, consultants, implementers, academics and
software vendors, with the intent of making rapid and tangible progress
towards enabling the sharing and exchange of knowledge between people,
organizations and systems using the technology of the web. (In practice,
a discussion forum.)
ROBOTWISDOM - Home
page of AI Guru Jorn Barger. Original & diverse insights into Artificial Intelligence, and
intelligent use of the web itself. Most active via the RobotWisdomWebLog
through which Jorn's AI / Knowledge Modelling snippets see the light of
day amongst the mind-boggling stream of "check this out" log
entries.
MISQ - Management Information Systems
Quarterly
includes aspects of the application of qualitative approaches,
directed at business management. (Mike Myers
is on the editorial board.)
PRINCIPIA CYBERNETICA
- in its own words ... Principia Cybernetica tries to tackle age-old
philosophical questions with the help of the most recent cybernetic
theories and technologies. A wealth of AI activities - current
hot-topics are memes and memetics. (Also a reference source on Occam's
Razor.)
Ontolingua / KSL
Ontology Server - Stanford University Knowledge Systems Laboratory
hosted environment for collaborative creation and editing of ontologies.
Computing / Cognition as
Compression (Was SP -
Simple is Powerful Theory, part of Gerry Wolf's
pages at Bangor University of Wales) with particular focus
"towards a new concept of software". Some powerful thinking,
but beware the radical (ie dodgy) anti-global-business politics. Now
being Marketed by Gerry in AI / Natural Language Processing spheres as
"Cognition Research" with a piece of software currently known as SP6.1
