Tom,
This looks like good material to work through,
so I will begin to do so, though there may be
long intervals when I have to be incommunicado.
No, I mean the other kind of incommunicado.
TJ: Jon's response seems to be: respect for relevant theory
that is part of the standard undergraduate curriculum.
Not that we should stop there, of course, but I think that this much
would form a nice test of concept for a start. Then again, there is
an "education application" area that is already enscounced as a part
of our Scope and Purpose:
| C. APPLICATION AREAS
| 2. Educational applications in which students learn concepts
| and relationships directly from, or expressed in terms of,
| a common ontology. This will also enable a standard record
| of learning to be kept.

See my comment, one of the few positive
mentions of this area in 3 years, here:

Needles to say, but I'll say it anyway, one of my worst fears (nightmares)
about the abject barbarisms in the primitive state of the current starter
documents is that they might accidentally fall into the wrong hands, that
is to say, into the possession of impressionable youth, constituting one
of the worst crimes against the educational enterprise ever committed
since R^2 became governor of CA. And you can bet that there would be
serious repercussions landing on the IEEE SUO from the direction of
the enterprising educational establishment.
Enough for a start, indeed.
