* GNOWSYS

  GNOWSYS is a specification for a generic distributed network based
  memory/knowledge management.  Typically computer memory is managed
  as a tree, or as nested arrays. Our attempt in this project is to
  represent all forms of declarative and procedural knowledge as a
  network, and then develop network processing methods to manage the
  knowledge. Considering the difficulty and complexity of the task, we
  will try to solve one tangible problem at a time, and let the
  project evolve naturally in all its complexity.
