[Introspector-developers] RDF representation of programs

[James M. D. <mdu...@ya...>]

Hi all,

Just been reading up on damls : I think that is is very close to what I
am modeling with the function bodies in rdf notation.

There is a mapping from DAMLS to UML 
http://codip.grci.com/codipsite/wwwlibrary/DUETGuide/DAMLS-UML_Mapping_V1.htm

Here are some links on software agents :
http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~softagents/

The function is basically a damls:process, and the implementation of
the function is the damls:ServiceModel.

If you replace the word web with local rdf resource locator, then with
the introspector interfaces into the gcc, you will be able to create
semantic agents for calling functions and finding the right function to
use.

Basically when we get all this data into some type of server that can
serve up interesting bits  into bitesized rdf, then we can make better
agents.

I think the next step will be to make a simple server that 
implements this api :
http://gnufans.net/intrspctr.pl?BasicAPI

That will allow for these agents to be built without haveing to deal
with HUGE amounts of data.

more to come...
