Subject:   [xtm-wg] ANNOUNCE: SemanText now available

Finally! I have released the 0.71 version of SemanText as open source. You can download it from www.semantext.com. It does not yet support XTM, but will in a future release.

For those of you not familiar with SemanText: SemanText is a prototype application developed to demonstrate how the topic map standard (ISO/IEC 13250:2000) can be used to represent semantic networks. Semantic networks are a building block for artificial intelligence applications such as inference engines and expert systems.

SemanText builds a knowledge base, in the form of a semantic network, from the topic map. New information can be added to the knowledge base and topic map automatically when the user defines rules which are used to infer new knowledge. All of this is done using constructs defined in the topic map standard. The benefit of this is that the new knowledge is then interchangeable with any other topic map enabled system. As more and more topic map enabled applications are developed, the ability to share, interpret, and create new knowledge will be greatly increased.

Please send me any questions or comments.
