I believe Peter Clark's email address is clarkp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
.
You may also be interested in the knowledge entry and execution methods
in the Internet Business Logic system. The basic idea is to support
knowledge authoring in a close-to-English, unlimited vocabulary
notation, by means of an inference method that assigns a highly
declarative meaning.
There is a "Semantic Web Presentation" about this at
www.reengineeringllc.com. The system itself is live, online at the
same site, with a number of examples that you can run and change. The
author- and user-interface is simply a browser.
Hope this helps, Cheers, -- Adrian

To the
members of Ontolog,
Is there anyone within the group that has first-hand knowledge of the
work done under DARPA’s Rapid Knowledge Formation (RKF) project,
specifically the work done by Peter Clark ( Knowledge Systems M&CT,
Boeing), et al, starting with the development of SHAKEN (see link
below),
through which he and his colleagues claim to have developed a way for
SME
to capture axiomatic knowledge through a graphical interface -- a
method
which they claim overcomes the need for the SME to be proficient with
first order logic.
Given the problems we (Ontolog) have encountered relating to the skill
sets needed to develop axiomatic ontologies, if valid and workable,
this
might be a way for mitigating the problem. At minimum, I believe it
is worth a short discussion.
I look forward to hearing of your experiences, and/or
insights.
