kMail is problematic. The paper cited is valuable in that it outlines the
issues involved in the construction of an organizational memory (a NIC).
Unfortunately, it does not appear to be possible to track kmail further
because there exists a KMail that is part of the KDE Linux desktop system.
That seems to hog all the kmail hits at google.
Conceptual Graphs were the creation of John F. Sowa, based, he says, on C.S.
Peirce's Existential Graphs. Sowa may not follow Peirce to the letter, but
his work is gaining a grand following, not to mention, an email list devoted
to CGs.
In view of the existence of major events related to the Semantic Web, it
would seem that this post is very timely and has much to offer the Unrev
group in relation to the OHS project. Here is an accumulation of URLs that

> Conceptual graphs (CGs) are a system of logic based on the existential
graphs of

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,
