META NOTE:
In compiling this list, I am acting as a "DKR" by:
* Condensing information / evaporating the extraneous
* Organizing and presenting the material
* Preserving attributions to contributors
* Recording evaluations
The DKR we build should make those operations as easy
as is feasible so they can applied to every document
in the system.

re: The APECKS paper:
http://ksi.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/KAW/KAW98/tennison/
"Back up one directory and you get all the papers from KAW98.
Back up another directory and you get all the archived workshops.
What a gold mine :-)" ("Especially note the work of Brian
Gaines and a project called Sysiphus, as well as others with an
underlying notion of ontology") Current favorite book is John F. Sowa,
Knowledge Representation.

Gil Regev provided these:
* Knoware: a Java applet that implements a collaborative
concept mapping or mind mapping space. The applet relies
on a server that stores all concepts, relationships and
attached document, links in a relational database, and
sends them back to the applet as an XML string. The
applet queries the server through simple http requests."
(Note: The applet was written by Gil.)
Two public sites that demonstrate the tool:
--http://icapc4.epfl.ch/knowarepub
Public site. No cleanup or moderation. Total anarchy.

* The "Language/Action Perspective" in system design. Seminal work by
Fernando Flores and Terry Winograd which formed the basis for
groupware
products like "the Coordinator", various "Workflow" products (e.g.
Action Technologies' "Metro <http://www.actiontech.com/>), as well
as
"CIM3" (Computer Integrated Man-Machine Manufacturing), a framework
I started developing in the mid eighties.

IMHO this is the software project closest to the Rosen's ideas
(which use Category Theory as a Mathematics of Knowledge)
gIBIS
-----
gIBIS is a graphical implementation of the IBIS concept.
Here is background on IBIS:
http://www.gdss.com/IBIS.htm
http://web.uvic.ca/~ckeep/hfl0104.html
Here is an abstract of Jeff Conklin's ACM paper:
http://www.acm.org/pubs/toc/Abstracts/tois/59297.html
This page has a link that appears to go the paper, rather
than the abstract, but it wasn't working when I followed it:
http://members.easyspace.com/olove3/beleg/i_conkli.htm
A nice diagram of gIBIS concepts:
http://www.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~kremer/tutorials/ConceptMaps/high/gIBIS.html
A summary of IBIS that mentions gIBIS and points the major
difficulty with the system: "cognitive overhead":
http://web.uvic.ca/~ckeep/hfl0104.html
"Integrating Voting Techniques into a Discussion Rationale
Model-based GDSS"
http://isdss97.unil.ch/isdss97/papers/71.htm
Gil Regev found:
* QOC -- a Design Rational (DR) Language kind of comparable to
IBIS that focuses on revising the DR (rather than capuring the
process) and promoting reuse.
http://www.xrce.xerox.com/publis/cam-trs/html/epc-1993-106.htm
Jack Park mentioned:
* Constraint Graphs: A Concept Map Meta-Language, by Rob Kremer
(A dissertation that describes the technology under gIBIS.)
http://www.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~kremer/dissertation/index.html
* Relational Biology, as evolved from Raschevsky and Rosen
