If I had to draw a picture of our current situation with regard
to integrating, or achieving IO between, our DB's and our KB's,
it might come out a byte at a time like this:
| o---------o o---------o
| / \ / \
| / \ / \
| / \ / \
| o o o o
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| o o o o
| \ / \ /
| \ / \ /
| \ / \ /
| o---------o o---------o

| Figure 1. State of the Union
The frame is out of joint, I know -- O recursèd spike! --
try to view it as my venture at a venn diagram, that
peradventure some incidental incompatibility between
the various versions of our several graspix packages
has arrived before our eyes in a disjointed condition,
with its its concept layer and its data layer in parts,
verisimilar to the way that object ("draw") layers and
and bitmap ("paint") layers frequently used to become
adversely inadvertently detached, one from the other.
And that, at a glance, is my diagnomon.
I have to break here -- I leave you for a while
to your own contemplation of this sorry picture.
