A really huge bit. Natural language? I don't doubt it's useful, but I'm far from convinced it's essential. > This is argued in detail in the "e-Government Presentation" at > www.reengineeringllc.com . I just read it...sure, the points about being friendly towards users etc etc are reasonable. But you still have to map back to the machine logic somehow. In that sense NLU can be seen as just another user interface paradigm - graphic stuff's pretty handy too. Surely all of that is more-or-less orthogonal to the underlying model, or for that matter to the subject of this thread - I mean, XML parsers don't have NLP either, do they?
