reminding the scope for this AI KR CG

When I launched this CG, several years ago, the horizon was mixed. I was
open to explore what could lie ahead, looked at how KR would help
detangle  the new wave of ML AI.
To do that, we needed to be able to put our finger on what exactly KR was.
And that was tough. There was no single resource

Now we have a bunch of vocabs and conceptual spaces *albeit still in draft
version that define with more precision
the KR knowledge domain, and that is helping us to navigate and stay on top
of the rapid advances in AI

Vocabularies are units of computation in language models!  Heck yes

Natural language processing is based on natural language terms
A first report was published summarizing the critical path this CG is
following to achieve that goal and then we brew bits here and there

I can understand that newcomers, or anyone who has not been paying
attention as much as others as to what this CG is actually doing and why,
or are not interested  in it for whatever reason may struggle to grasp with
what the CG is all about and may want to suggest other directions,

The scope of work has now become more focused on vocabs and concept maps
that define KR as a primary domain of interest for reliable AI
The next step
is to attempt to publish these as schemas/specifications.  We are not
planning beyond that at this time.

Natural language is the thing here.

Domain specific knowledge representation is not in scope, although there is
now a conceptual space for domain KR *the bubble on the left
pointing clearly to Domain ontologies, possibly in scope of another CG? and
there may well be terms in our core vocab pointing to domain specific
knowledge. Room for analysis there!

I may not be able to read/reply to emails that raise issues not in scope,

This is crunch time for this CG, which needs to keep its eyes on the
natural language for KR ball

 *it goes without saying that pertinent contributions including intelligent
responses and constructive critiques are welcome and will be included in
the report. Please get in touch  if you wish to make contributions to be
considered for the report or for further refinement

Participants working on other things, please consider proposing a new CG
that follows your vision

Please refer to the updated diagram below

Second report with updates from TPAC will be out before the end of the
year, I hope, with all updates


Thanks for your continued interest and participation, exciting things are
coming to us all!
