Different groups did different things, each contributing to the field as a whole. Bell Labs/AT&T Labs was, of course, a significant player, but there were or are comparable groups at ISI, Fairchild/Schlumberger, DKFI, Rome, Aachen/Dresden, Hamburg, and Manchester. Bell Labs has had more attention here simply because it is in the U. S., and because Ron was here. peter PS: Wouldn't it be better to acquire knowledge before shooting at description logics? These repeated attacks are becoming an impediment.
