I know there are some people interested in Education on this list. Cheers, -- -- Grant Bowman <gra...@sv...> ----- Forwarded message from Ben Armstrong <sy...@sa...> ----- From: Ben Armstrong <sy...@sa...> To: deb...@li... Subject: Promoting free software in education Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2001 18:54:27 -0400 Resent-From: deb...@li... Hi, I have been speaking with Doug Loss and Roger Dingeldine of SEUL/edu (see www.seul.org/edu) about a coalition they are forming, the purpose of which will be to promote free software and free content in education. I feel Debian and this coalition, which to date is being called the Schoolforge[0] coalition, would benefit from Debian's membership in it. Please see two messages by Doug Loss on what the coalition is and what membership in it would mean: http://www.seul.org/archives/seul/edu/Dec-2001/msg00101.html http://www.seul.org/archives/seul/edu/Dec-2001/msg00106.html Basically, I'd like to know the steps I'd have to go through to get Debian involved. Because of my work with Debian Jr. I am volunteering to, at least for the interim, represent Debian in this group. However, I would really prefer if someone with the needs of education closer to their heart would take this position. In the not too distant past, I had suggested to the Debian-jr list that a Debian-edu workgroup should be created, and while people were favourably inclined to the idea, so far, no developer has stepped up to head up such a group. Thus, the task falls to Debian Jr. group even though it is not a perfect fit. Ben [0] Schoolforge has no relationship to Sourceforge. -- nSLUG http://www.nslug.ns.ca sy...@sa...

Firstly, I notice that with sourceforge mail lists, you must "reply to all"
or else your response goes directly, and only to the sender of the message
to which you are responding.
I, too, would like to know who is taking any sort of interest in Nexist. I
would like to think that fresh ideas for Nexist applications and code will
come from others. In fact, I encourage others to consider forking aspects
of Nexist into other projects so that we can, as with directed/facilitated
evolution, perform trials on many ideas.
The book is _XML Topic Maps: Creating and Using Topic Maps for the Web_ to
be published by Addison-Wesley later this year. The book has about a dozen
authors, each bringing to the book a background rich in some aspect of
information technology that I think important to this, the first book on
the XTM standard. Chapters on Ontological Engineering, Classroom use of
Topic Maps, and visualization of high dimensional data spaces are included
along with a tutorial on writing Topic Maps, and with chapters on the
history, theory, and application of Topic Maps.
Nexist is, indeed, an exploration of the notion that writing
command-response pairs suited to the manipulation of XTM documents can
serve as a necessary, and possibly sufficient API for Knowledge/Context
management systems.
At present, I am prototyping two separate software objects for inclusion
with Nexist:
a graphical presentation/browser/builder for Topic Maps that, at
least at the moment, can pan and zoom.
support for the DocBook DTD to serve as the Nexist-native document
format.
Cheers
Jack

Hey, just seeing who's online. It would be great if you all introduced yourself. Some history: Jack Park has developed this software. It's a functional three tier architecture right now. The premise is to use topic maps as a basis for all the groupware functionality we will be using. Jack is finishing up a book on the topic, so this is a functional preview of sorts. Is that about right Jack? I come from a background of IT and systems integration. My last position was with SuSE Linux, arguably the largest Linux software company world wide. SuSE is very strong in Europe and Germany, but not so much in the US. I was also a founder of Silicon Valley Public Access Link, a Community Network/Free-Net. If you have any questions, please fire away. -- -- Grant Bowman <gra...@sv...> |

Today, I have placed a link at my web site http://www.thinkalong.com/nex/Nexist.html a link to the User's Manual for a predecessor to Nexist, my project called jTME (Java Topic Map Engine) which is an engine for creating and browsing XTM (XML Topic Maps) documents. That project has now been folded into Nexist. What's different? In jTME you only needed to boot: Hsql database jTME In Nexist, you need to boot (in this order) Hsql database DKR server Client What's missing on the date this is being sent? Client can try, but not successfully, import an XTM document. As you can see, jTME was quite capable of importing XTM documents and creating new ones. Why the difference? Nexist adds a client-server architecture in between jTME and Hsql. The handshaking routines that exist in the current Nexist code are not robust enough, and are being modified, even as we speak :-) Cheers Jack ============================================================================ This message is intended only for the use of the Addressee(s) and may contain information that is PRIVILEGED and CONFIDENTIAL.
