Re: [oor-forum] Language, encoding and ontology of OOR messages

[Cameron Ross <cross@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd like to restrict my proposal outline here: http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/oor-forum/2010-09/msg00031.html to the KnowledgeBase component within Ken's proposed architecture, as this is where I had envisioned using it.  The following are quotes from earlier in this thread:

Do these two statements not reflect two different philosophies for designing the KnowledgeBase interface?  If so, then we should discuss the prose and cons of each.

Cameron.
