Proposed OWL Knowledge Base Language Abstract

A proposed abstract syntax is given for the Web Ontology Language. This syntax is divided into a ``light'' or frame-like part and a ``full'' part.

memes.net - Home Node This site is for discussing the use of graph structures.

Feel free to discuss graph structures in community web sites, in topic maps, in information systems, in document management, whatever.

The Graph Visualization Library Visualization is an important aid for debugging graph algorithms. MLRISC provides a simple facility for displaying graphs that adheres to the graph interface. Two graph viewer back-ends are currently supported. (An interface to the dot tool is still available but is unsupported.)

* vcg -- this tool supports the browsing of hierarchical graphs, zoom in/zoom out functions. It can handle up to around 5000 nodes in a graph.
* daVinci -- this tool supports a separate ``survey'' view from the main view and text searching. This tool is slower than vcg but it has a nicer interface, and can handle up to around 500 nodes in a graph.

All graph viewing back-ends work in the same manner. They take a graph whose nodes and edges are annotated with layout instructions and translate these layout instructions into the target description language. For vcg, the target description language is GDL. For daVinci, it is a language based on s-expressions.

MLRISC Writing native code generators for modern processors is a significant investment. Unfortunately it is difficult to reuse this investment for other architectures, and even more difficult to reuse for other source language compilers. MLRISC is a customizable optimizing back-end written in Standard ML and has been successfully retargeted to multiple architectures. MLRISC deals elegantly with the special requirements imposed by the execution model of different high-level, typed languages, by allowing many components of the system to be customized to fit the source language semantics and runtime system requirements.

Euler proof mechanism

This is a very interesting program. I might even install java to use it!

Or maybe the gjc!

http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/cwm.py Closed World Machine (also, in Wales, a valley - topologiclly a partially closed world perhaps?) This is an application which knows a certian amount of stuff and can manipulate it. It uses llyn, a (forward chaining) query engine, not an (backward chaining) inference engine: that is, it will apply all rules it can but won't figure out which ones to apply to prove something.
