Been dumping all the fresh baskets into papers and examples for these upcoming gigs, both based
on chapters from forthcoming LogicU textbook with working title: Enterprise Logical Reform.
2006 S.T.C. - San Jose, Cali - March 6-9. Topic: Semantic Testing: Verification and The Knowledge System.
2006 DAMA/Metadata - Denver on April 23-27. Topic: Semantic Seeds: Maintainable Configuration Dataload using Ontologies.
The glossy brochures for both confs are pretty snazzy. Get one from me or using teh internets.
Let's see, any other news?
Alex K and I have created TWO pages in the Prova Wiki, which you must sign up to use (sorry):
prova.mostfiles.com
We got one page on the builtins and one on the SQL integration. Come
help us fill out some more pages in there - it's a party, yo? Also looks like prova is almost ready for a
1.9 release. What's up with the Pellet folks? No updates since November. Maybe they're writing
papers too...freakin academics!
What prova needs is better documentation, some code cleanup, a few new tweaky features.
Then you combine that with Pellet and eXist, and Peruser "Canonical XML"(!) and it's game over, folks.
Of course, thanks to Java, you can run this sassy webapp on tomcat, JBOSS, Websphere, or whatever
you want. (Note that eXist includes Cocoon, which is also used by Peruser). This is where mom
is supposed to poke her head in and say, "What about Leyenoox? Does it run on Leenox?"
So yeah, we now do all work within an open source java webapp capable of logical deduction, functional
transformation, and classical imperative execution. No java code is ncecessary for communication
over most modern message channels. The purpose is to capture intent of all human participants
in building a knowledge system. The payoff for organizations is a distilled set of logical elements,
subject to formal review, from which all software configurations and tests can be derived, in "real time".
UML and Eclipse? Yeah, thanks so much for playing, but you can go home now. Because it's all
sitemaps, xqueries, and prova scripts from here. Oh, and OWL / RDF models. But custom Java?
Mmmmmmm, no, no thanks. Don't need that. Thanks, though! Put it over there, next to the pile of
languages that start with P, as in P-rogrammer-centric. (Of course, existing Java / P* systems must
be supported).
Hey, anyone else goin to XML-Prague, June 17-18?
