Hello Everyone,
Please ask your colleagues consider the following for use in your organizations -- Social Media for Knowledge Capture and Question Answering in Executable English** over Databases. It could become the next big thing after Twitter and Facebook. And, it's free.
Imagine government and other web sites answering an open ended collection of English questions, and also explaining the answers in English. Imagine government folks and citizens socially networking, Wikipedia-style, to continually expand the range of questions that can be answered.
The approach starts from the observation that data by itself is necessary, but not enough, for many practical uses of an intranet or the Web.
What's also needed is knowledge about how to use the data to answer an ever increasing number of questions -- such as, "How much could the US save through energy independence?".
There's emerging technology that can leverage social networking for the significant task of acquiring and curating the necessary knowledge -- in the form of Executable English.
You can Google "Executable English" to find this.
The technology underlies a Web site that works as a kind of Wiki, for collaborative content in open vocabulary, executable English (and other languages).
As you know, English text (like this sentence) is normally something for a person to read, but it cannot be used as a program that you can run on a computer.
On the other hand, executable English is something that a person can read, and that you can also run on a computer.
Shared use of the system is free, and there are no advertisements. Just point a browser to www.reengineeringllc.com .
Since the executable knowledge is in English, Google indexes and retrieves it, acting as a kind of registry.
You and your colleagues can use your browsers to write programs as syllogism-like rules in English, run them, and get detailed English explanations of the results.
Applications of the system include: Answering Questions about the US Financial Stimulus Package, Risk Analysis, Reasoning over Taxonomies, Knowledge Based Data Mining, Business Intelligence, and Supply Chain Management. Please see [1-6].
To use the system there is nothing to install. Simply point your browser to the site below, to run the examples provided, and to write and run your own examples.
As mentioned, shared use of the system is free. There is no advertising.
Please be aware that anyone on the web can view, run and change anything that you write into the shared area. There is also private group use for a nominal fee -- please see www.reengineeringllc.com/terms_and_conditions.html .
Apologies if you have seen this technology before, and thanks for your comments,
-- Adrian
