Sebastian,
You may be interested in the following for your requirements -- Social
Media for App Knowledge Capture and Question Answering in Executable
English** over Databases.
The approach starts from the observation that data by itself is necessary,
but not enough, for many practical uses of an intranet or the Web.
What's also needed is knowledge about how to use the data to answer an ever
increasing number of questions -- such as, "How much could the US save
through energy independence?".
There's emerging technology that can leverage social networking for the
significant task of acquiring and curating the necessary knowledge -- in
the form of Executable English.
You can Google "Executable English" to find this.
The technology underlies a Web site that works as a kind of Wiki, for
collaborative content in open vocabulary, executable English (and other
languages).
Shared use of the system is free, and there are no advertisements. Just
point a browser to www.reengineeringllc.com .
Since the executable knowledge is in English, Google indexes and retrieves
it, acting as a kind of registry.
You and your colleagues can use your browsers to write programs as
syllogism-like rules in English, run them, and get detailed English
explanations of the results.
Applications of the system include: Answering Questions about the US
Financial Stimulus Package, Risk Analysis, Reasoning over Taxonomies,
Knowledge Based Data Mining, Business Intelligence, and Supply Chain
Management. Please see [1-6].
To use the system there is nothing to install. Simply point your browser
to the site below, to run the examples provided, and to write and run your
own examples.
Shared use of the system is free. There is no advertising.
Apologies if you have seen this technology before, and thanks for your
comments,
-- Adrian
