I have found N3 to be particularly helpful because it brings so many
key pieces together: simple notation, contexts, reasoning and rules. Having it
standardized would make a lot more tools for it available. Actually I guess that the
past 18 years of standardization have just been preliminaries to make it possible
to standardise :-)
I found it very useful for thinking about security - and there are a lot of really
good ideas lying in the cwm cvs repository.
