The Procedural Memory Knowledge Representation Community Group has been launched: https://www.w3.org/community/pm-kr/ -------------------------------------------------- Current knowledge representation systems suffer from massive duplication and fragmentation: the same knowledge (e.g., a Unicode character, mathematical symbol, or spatial concept) is duplicated across fonts, embeddings, accessibility metadata, and visual renderings. Redundant representations can create maintenance, performance, security, and licensing issues. The PM-KR Community Group will develop a knowledge representation paradigm where knowledge is stored once as executable procedures (like font programs or mathematical formula definitions) and referenced via symlink-style composition, enabling both humans and AI systems to consume the same procedural source. The group will study data models, execution semantics, conformance levels, and relationships with other W3C technologies (e.g., RDF, OWL, JSON-LD). **Note**: This group is motivated by prior work on Knowledge3D, and that work may inform the group's discussions. That work does not constrain the group's discussions, nor will it be a deliverable of this group. -------------------------------------------------- To join: https://www.w3.org/community/pm-kr/join If you do not have one already, you will need a W3C account to join: https://www.w3.org/account/request/ This is a community initiative. W3C's hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities. The group must now choose a chair: https://www.w3.org/community/about/faq/#how-do-we-choose-a-chair For more information about getting started in the new group, see: https://www.w3.org/community/about/faq/#how-do-we-get-started-in-a-new-group and good practice for running a group: https://www.w3.org/community/about/good-practice-for-running-a-group/ We invite you to share news of this new group in social media and other channels. If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at team-community-process@w3.org Thank you, W3C Community Development Team
