1 GNOWSYS

GNOWSYS is a specification for a generic distributed network based memory/knowledge management. Typically computer memory is managed as a tree, or as nested arrays. Our attempt in this project is to represent all forms of declarative and procedural knowledge as a network, and then develop network processing methods to manage the knowledge. Considering the difficulty and complexity of the task, we will try to solve one tangible problem at a time, and let the project evolve naturally in all its complexity.
