Re:   Comments on KM Paper (correction) for the response [in HREF="http://www.welchco.com/sd/08/00101/02/01/01/26/101044.HTM#0001"> SDS record January 26, 2001, to my paper also, on January 26, 2001...] I'm not sure what your issue is with PDFs. They're a universal print format, you can copy text from them, and their non-editability is an advantage in distributing potentially protectable work like this. My paper was written in LaTeX, and if I have anything to say about it no Word version will ever be available ( 1/2 ;-> ). Beyond that, I was looking for specific comments in your respsonse: http://www.welchco.com/sd/08/00101/02/01/01/26/101044.HTM ...about my paper, rather than your theory of KM. You noted I didn't speak to temporal representations, and that I agreed that it was critical for KM. It is, and is representable in semantic hyperwebs as a link type with the property of having a total order. This can be called out in a future version.
