Hi Paolo, Peirce died in 1914, some 60-70 yrs before frames became a topic in AI. He also did not invent conceptual graphs; Sowa did, though based on existential graphs, Peirce's diagrammatic notations to capture his logics. There is nothing purposeful or incidental in my book not mentioning frames or frame languages, just as Petri nets, UML or tableau reasoners are not mentioned. Frames are simply not applicable to the context of the book, which has as its focus Peirce's logics, sign-making (semeiosis), and pragmatism as guides to inform KR. I, too, would be surprised if a general reference book on KR did not mention these topics. But, like I said, that is not the purpose of the book.
