I'm sure you'll find the following links about 1) kMail, 2) WebKB and 3)
Conceptual Graphs based on the existential graphs of Charles Sanders Peirce as
enabling solutions for powerfully summarizing our Unrev2 mailing list!!!
1) kMail: E-mail, contexts and views
In "Tying Knowledge to Action with kMail, " David G. Schwartz and Dov Te'eni
exploit the Internet and e-mail to disseminate knowledge for the purposes of
capturing Organization Memory (OM) and "collective IQ". They emphasis the need
to tie knowledge to action and present the kMail system, which integrates e-mail
with organizational memories to distribute knowledge over the Internet at the
right time and to the right person. kMail lets e-mail senders contextualize
their messages by creating revelant views of the organizational memory. It also
uses metaknowledge consisting of user profile information and shared semantics
information. They describe the context through shared metaknowledge and link it
to the organization memory each time knowledge is used to perform an action.
Domain-specific criteria help determine the revelant views in the organization.

3) Conceptual Graphs
Conceptual graphs (CGs) are a system of logic based on the existential graphs of
Charles Sanders Peirce and the semantic networks of artificial intelligence.
They express meaning in a form that is logically precise, humanly readable, and
computationally tractable. With their direct mapping to language, conceptual
graphs serve as an intermediate language for translating computer-oriented
formalisms to and from natural languages. With their graphic representation,
they serve as a readable,
but formal design and specification language. CGs have been implemented in a
variety of projects for information retrieval, database design, expert systems,
and natural language processing.

The Enterprise Ontology
The Enterprise Ontology is a collection of terms and definitions relevant to
business enterprises. The ontology was developed in the Enterprise Project by
the Artificial Intelligence Applications Institute at the University of
Edinburgh with its partners: IBM, Lloyd's Register, Logica UK Limited, and
Unilever. The project was support by the UK's Department of Trade and Industry
under the Intelligent Systems Integration Programme(project no IED4/1/8032)
Conceptually, the Enterprise Ontology it is divided into a number of main
sections -- these are summarised below.
