README FOR 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.

The 'doc' directory has the following files:

• INSTALL.html - this file has installation instructions and contact details
• EXAMPLES.txt - examples of how to add, update, delete, retrieve neighourhood information of a node has been written in this file The examples are executed using xml-rpc.
• nodes.txt - a basic schema for generating a 'University' ontology in GNOWSYS has been written in this file
• testScriptDocumentation.txt - instructions on how to use the testCaseScript.py file has been given in this file
