RISO: distributed belief networks / News: Recent posts

Abysml is "Yet another block structured markup language". Abysml is intended as a sane alternative to XML: the same tree-like structure is represented, but without the angle brackets, and without repeating keywords. The upshot is that abysml text is much easier to comprehend and edit than equivalent XML. Abysml will be used as the markup language for RISO, although a slightly different format is implemented at the moment. An initial release of abysml, implemented in Python, has been posted to Sourceforge.

Source and binary RPMs are available in the Bamboo release. I haven't constructed RPMs for the documents and example belief networks yet. Please contact me (robert_dodier@yahoo.com) if you have any questions or comments.
