Word Sense Identifiers
|
Word senses in domain-specific Lexikons need unique identifiers. They also need semantic
models. Self-annotating IDs are a novel standards-based way to meet both goals at once.
They embed into a URI the answers to 10 very general binary questions on whatever it denotes. Extension facets like part of speech, a Roget's Thesaurus category, and custom tags can be selectively added as namespace options. |
|
Pathway Models
|
One application for MODELER involves biological pathway contexts. Now being
standardized at BioPAX.org under RDF/OWL, they model metabolic, genetic, or signaling
processes in cells. Normalized pathway models must be authored, refined, then perturbed
to emulate disease, genetic flaws, or drugs. WORDS scripts offer Life Scientists
easy-to-use power tools for managing these models.

Charting Contexts
|
Our CONTEXT memory is a portable Java data store, simple yet very sophisticated.
Under (remote) Web or (local) Java APIs, it can depict any RDF or XTM metadata
graphs using localized node names; support several kinds of query; run internal WORDS
scripts for value constraints or inherited defaults or noticed events; merge Prevaylor pattern
data updates from multiple sources; and manage a change-approval cycle for its
distributed user community.

Charting Paragraphs
|
Topic Maps make a great associative memory for a natural language parser. This
Java web app helps one visualize roughly how human memory is affected by English
grammar forms. The evolving CONTEXT (semantic net) is a XTM or CTM lexicon on any
desired subject matter loaded into a TMAPI engine. It helps MODELER interpret WORDS
commands, which appear to mutate memory in ways emulating English understanding.

Conceptual Topic Maps
|
The CTM ontology formalizes basic semantic structures underlying natural
language. It defines patterns for clauses, noun and prepositional phrases,
comparative modifiers and conjunctions. Lexikos puts it forward as a
simple upper ontology, compatible with Topic Maps and Conceptual Graphs,
two standards whose unified usage it seeks to simplify.

Semantic Lexicons
|
By using hierarchies of PSIs as mega-templates, it is relatively simple to
formally model (constrain) large structures of topics linked by associations.
This tool expands an expressive PSI-lexikon notation into verbose
streams of equivalent XML metadata, plus HTML web pages documenting the PSIs.

Autonomous Robotics
|
Robots and people will not work well together until they can share plans in a
common language. These SBIR proposals explain how to create such plans using
scripted lexikons which extend the basic Idealized English concept set.

Objective Force Agents
|
A well-dressed US infantryman will carry 100-1,000
intelligent agents on his body by 2015. How will they get built?
This suggests a factory design that makes it easier.

Virtual Trade Show
|
Shadowcats won a state grant to build a groupware site supporting a local
trade association. Lexikos designed it, aided by Maine's Java Users Group.
Both use this staging site to develop various open-source coding projects.
