Re: Getting organized

Owen,
I have not received your reply below in my inbox (the one to which RR
is replying to
Thanks for the additional resources, yes please make sure the stratml
links you create are
visible and accessible on the group's home page.
Yes, we are not updated those pages,  and should do so. I am working
on a couple of things (Finally compiled a comprehensive list of
references for AI KR, stealing some from books) and will update when I
get around to complete it
RONALD - i  dont think there are KR standards per se, this is what
prompted this group (will post a link to an article)

While I do see value in creating an enumeration (listing) of resources, it seems that it could rapidly be out of date and therefore of limited value unless it was for historical reference.

I see the vocabulary spreadsheet and the input form, which apparently has not been used recently.  I also see there are 48 nominal participants in the group.  However, so far this month only 7 have engaged in discussion in the public listserv.

However, my incentive to update and maintain it will depend in large measure on the degree to which members of the group make contributions worth reporting.

However, to the degree that humans (and organization like the UN) insist on continuing to produce amorphous documentation, if any documentation at all, the ability of AI agents to make sense of it is limited.  For example, even though all strategic plans contain essentially the same content, AI agents may not be able to parse out the goals, objectives, and stakeholders if the content is haphazardly formatted.  No doubt, someday they will have such capabilities, but in the meantime, the question arises as to why we insist upon making it so hard for AI agents to help us accomplish our objectives.

However, the "checklists" he has suggested could be formatted as a performance plan.

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.
