Re: group's quick updates, and have a nice summer all

Dear Paola,
Is there a consensus on what constitutes neurosymbolic knowledge representation? Can you list the documents for review in order for us to propose and upgrade to WG?
I think the idea is fine, but we need to create a proposal that covers more than just AI, by looking how AI is used in various fields to deal with formalizing and representing knowledge.
High energy physics, conformal field theory, quantum physics, theoretical and elementary particle physics, biochemistry, computational linguistics, neuroscience, mathematics and machine learning.
All of these use common concepts and formal systems and knowledge representation systems. If we can find a set of common concepts and knowledge representation systems , it will be much easier to come up with a viable proposal.
I find the term neurosymbolic a bit limitative. What we are looking for is interchangeable (homomorphic) KR systems that can be mapped to cognitive architecture or neuroscience based modeling.
I will send a couple of links to interesting takes on knowledge and knowledge representation.

Hope everyone is having a good summer and getting lazy timeand welcome to new membersPlease share your version of the classic summertime tune, if you have any 

I was hoping to be totally away from the computer, but got busy catching up deadlines, I am however managing to spend time on the beach almost every day, which means I am at least half on summer holiday. I hope this much for you all, at a minimum.
 As you may have noticed, I am having trouble with my eyesight. Spell checker does not catch everything. Apologies for the typos. I am not just being sloppy.

AI KR standards are badly needed, and W3C is on the case
We plan to advance this CG to WG, so that we can draft a standardfor neurosymbolic knowledge representation, NSKR, at some point soon.
what is NSKR you may ask-

I had to carry out a lot of research and argue fairly hard for NS KR because obviously some people say that NSI and KR are two different things, also because I had not yet fully worked it out.

I have now completed the background research to  propose a standard for neurosymbolic integration using model cards, and illustrated the case with citable references (in the hope it will be cited, not plagiarized)
I needed to have some well thought out arguments and references before I could  invite members of this AI KR CG to think about upgrading to WG and start working on a standard 

I ll soon be sharing the main points of the plan, and provided enough members are ready to receive, well need 5 members to promote the CG to WG and then we can get working
Finally, the first report was uploaded today - same old report presented at TPAC 2021, which basically summarises the main arguments that motivated this CG and point to future developments - just updated it it a bit since drafting
https://www.w3.org/community/aikr/wiki/File:AI_KR_FIRST_REPORT_PUBLISHED_VERSION.pdfApologies for taking so long. Future reports may be published more timely if someone volunteers to proofread.

Richard Lea was nominated cochair last spring and has agreed to help set up a github repo for AI KR, he is working on it 
He has also agreed and to work towards forming a WG so that we can move on towards devising a new standard
Lastly, I have never really considered using the Internal mailing list
internal-aikr@w3.org  until Daniela Cialfi, a new member, posted there recently(Monday, 25 July) Thank you Daniela. I guess there are too many trolls on the open web.The internal-AIKR mailing list is only accessible to authenticated users, rather than being publicly accessible. It could be a good idea to post to the internal list only anything that group members are not yet ready to share without authentication *referring to plagiarism concerns discussed earlier
Continue to have a good summer, to resist  radical connectionism in machine learning and more about the proposed standard soon
