Subject:   MindSet, Import/Export

Dear Andrius,

Initial review shows that MindSet is a strong effort to structure human thought, see particularly questions under action items. Your emphasis on import/export seems to align with objectives for the DKR effort.

Congratulations for progress on a difficult problem.

Can you explain how MindSet handles topic maps? There seem to be general discussion in the references you submitted; but, I did not see anything specific. Do you have an example that shows how Topic Maps are applied, say, to something like a letter, or a web page? Jack Park on the DKR team is looking at this issue closely; see, for example, analysis on June 23, and more recently on October 25.

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY
