New explanation of chunks data and rules language

The work on the demo's has helped to clarify requirements for the chunks language and ideas on how to fulfil them.  I’ve looked at a minimalist approach that limits chunk properties to the names of other chunks, and a richer approach in which properties can be names, numbers, booleans, strings, ISO8601 dates, and comma separated lists thereof.  See:

 https://github.com/w3c/cogai/blob/master/minimalist.md <https://github.com/w3c/cogai/blob/master/minimalist.md>
 https://github.com/w3c/cogai/blob/master/chunks-and-rules.md <https://github.com/w3c/cogai/blob/master/chunks-and-rules.md>

A formal specification is under preparation with a view to a Community Group report.

I am also working on updating my JavaScript implementation along with the existing demos and will plan further demos to illustrate the new capabilities for iterating over matching chunks, iterating over list of values, and over chunk properties. 

Anyone willing and able to help?
