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.

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.
--http://icapc4.epfl.ch/g99space
Discussion following a workshop on multi-cultural
design of collaborative environments.

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":

Knowledge Representation

A paper on knowledge representation:

(it looks readable, although I haven't gone through it)
"Towards Knowledge Representation:

the understanding is encapsulated in the logic. Learn the
logic, and you acquire the understanding. A neural net, on
the other hand, is just one big black box.]
