[seek-kr-sms] kr issues at kepler meeting

[Joseph Goguen]

Dear Bertram,

Thanks for the encouragement; we are working on this now; first step is to
catch up on some of the background that is online already.  By the way, two
of the ontology papers that ive been working on are now in final form and
are online (earlier i sent links to drafts), at

	http://www.cs.ucsd.edu/~goguen/pps/dag04.pdf

	http://www.cs.ucsd.edu/~goguen/pps/ifi.pdf

There is also some related work at

	http://www.cs.ucsd.edu/~goguen/pps/comblog04.pdf

	http://www.cs.ucsd.edu/~goguen/pps/iccs05.pdf

	http://www.cs.ucsd.edu/~goguen/pps/nel05.pdf

though the last is very technical.  (All .pdf also have .ps versions.)

  == joseph
