Re: Getting organized

Dear Owen,
I very much appreciate your contributions to this listserv, and I share with you the viewpoint that "the representation of knowledge should support the achievement of human objectives." In my case a.o. achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN and sustainable development of humankind in general.
The UN and UNESCO as the designated and principal science, technology and education body of the UN share our viewpoint as well and even add an ethical dimension to this.
I will look into to the UN and UNESCO documents on AI and see how we can translate these into strategic planning to fully benefit from StratML.
Each of us brings his own ideas, ideals, thoughts, knowledge and experience and obviously expectations into this Community Group, and the diversity and the richness of ideas is what makes this collective endeavor important.
And this is what I sincerely hope Paola will be able to convey in Fukuoka, and also achieve with the  interest generated with the upcoming special journal edition on AI and KR.

 As I understand Milton's point, it is the same one I've been trying to get across:  It is hard to know what to do if we don't know what we're trying to accomplish and have no way of determining whether we're making any progress or not.
From my perspective, I don't believe any particular diagrams would be very useful.  I find most of them pretty frustrating.  However, the "checklists" he has suggested could be formatted as a performance plan.  If there is any interest in collaboratively authoring such a plan, I volunteer to compile the StratML rendition ... or anyone else could do so, using the XForm at http://legisworks.org/StratML/Part1Form.xml 
Failing that, I'm not sure maintaining a subscription to this listserv is worth my time.  I subscribed to it because the representation of knowledge should support the achievement of human objectives.  Otherwise, what's the point?  Unfortunately, however, I haven't seen much evidence that this listserv is making any meaningful contribution to the realization of any objectives about which I care.

Milton

thanks a lot for this

I under heavy load, and working on the following
- completing and editorial and a journal article submission for the Si
(need a couple more weeks to finish )
This will provide some input/further motivation to support the
direction of this work
- working on mapping two standards ISO and BCI mentioned earlier on
this list to a potential schema

Your tasklist sounds good, but  a bit ambitious, I think even half of
what you propose may be useful if we can get it done before september
(I am packed with deadines til the end of July)
We could also set up a date for an online brainstorm
if useful or collaborate on a shared spreadsheet

Currently in Hong Kong for two more days, anyone on this list in HK?
Many greetings, and thanks for getting this started
