SUO: SUMO Announcements




Hi All,

	I'd like to announce two things:

1.  New version of SUMO.  I've loaded version 1.17 of SUMO into the browser.
The most significant differences between this version and the last one that
was loaded into the browser (1.15) are an enriched hierarchy of processes
(based on Beth Levin's work), an attempt to include some aspects of speech
acts theory (under the node 'Communication'), and a revision of the naming
scheme which we discussed a few weeks back (on the new scheme hyphens and
vacuous prepositions have been eliminated).  Of course, all of these
additions and revisions are subject to change based on the group's
assessment of them, so please let me know if you disagree with anything that
I've done here.  As always, the ontology browser and all versions of the
SUMO source files can be accessed at:
http://ontology.teknowledge.com:8080/rsigma/index.html

2.  New version of SUMO documentation.  We've reworked the overview of SUMO
that's available at http://ontology.teknowledge.com:8080/rsigma/arch.html.
We've reorganized sections, added informal descriptions, added many new
terms, and hyperlinked all SUMO terms.  We hope this will continue to
function as a useful guide to the distinctions and content embodied in the
ontology.  Let me know if you have any suggestions about how to improve this
document.
