Hi Matthew,

 

That's getting a bit further than our scope (we are concerned with how to represent human characteristics within data, through XML) but certainly could be eventually used by applications such as what you describe.

 

You would probably be interested in the http://www.opencyc.com project (pronounced as in enCYClopedia).  Sandy Ressler recently posted a link to that site on our previous Discussion Group at YahooGroups.  Also, I believe you can look into KIF (or for that matter the Semantic Web efforts at the W3).  A lot of these may be of interest as well, based on your descriptions.

 

Hope to hear your ideas and thoughts.  Take care,

This sounds like an interesting project.

You could tell with a smile how many times the system crashed today. Which leads me to mention the design for databases that grew ( invariably ) within and were based upon goemetric-gravitic properties..so they could stand under their own weight so to speak.Think honeycomb!

A wise grandfather of a friend once said that he thought the mark of intelligence was the capability to laugh.

We might soon have computers that appreciate the formation of ideas and intercourse upon similar or relevant / related topics...perhaps able to sift through vast amounts of information and establish distinct mechanisms of exchange and trade.

 

thank you.
