PREFIX STEMMING, ain't ya? Folks, this is what happens to a really
brilliant mind attached to a body with WAY too much free time on its hands.
I love it.

Interesting, but I am araid that whenever I see someone report a
project to collect all the world's knowledge in a nice, centralized

the early chapters in Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver, were Wilkins,
Leibnitz and others are trying to form a universal grammar in which
all the world's facts can be organized in such a way that a
(essentially) a thinking machine can be built.
I'm going to basically come out and assert that the missing piece to
those projects was *functionality*, i.e. in terms of automation and
computation. The idea of having it all in one format so that we know
what's there is great, but it has to be usable, and sorting through it
by hand is kinda pointless, so what are we going to *do* with the
repositories?
http://heybryan.org/exp.html is a solution to that. I wasn't aware that
the NIST had a project going for an open ontology repository, I need to
get in touch with them.
