Simon,
I just wanted to add a note about history. From the Wikipedia page about Klaus Tschira:
"After gaining his
Diplom<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplom> in physics and
working at IBM, Tschira co-founded the German software giant SAP
AG<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAP_AG> in 1972 in
Mannheim<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannheim>im>, Germany."
While he was at IBM, he read a copy of my Conceptual Structures book. He didn't use
conceptual graphs, but he applied some of the topics in the book to the technology he used
to found SAP. He later invited me to visit the research center he founded in Heidelberg.
I recommended some issues about ontology, which led him to organize an invited conference
on ontology at his center..
Various participants in that conference later subscribed to Ontolog Forum and worked on
ISO standards projects for Common Logic and ontology.. This is one of many reasons why the
60+ years of symbolic AI is ESSENTIAL for practical and non-hallucinogenic applications of
LLMs.
John
