SCS IMPLEMENTATIONS


I unconsiously started to build SCSs since 1985. I have created 5 systems: a) a Paper-System, b) a DBASEIV (I spend many hours for nothing!!), c) a Folio-Views DOS, d) a Folio-Views Win, and e) the jSCS.

PAPER SCS:
My first "System". Every concept belonged to independed paper sheets. Quickly became apparent that as the quantity of knowledge increased the same happened to the effort to manage this knowledge.
---
FOLIO-VIEWS WIN SCS:
It is a primitive SCS using the Folio Views hypertext program. This program uses a proprietary markup language. I created a workable system with a Knowledge-base of about 12.000 structured-concepts. I'm holding in this system much of the knowledge I know and I consult it any time I have my computer open. (In contrast the java system have functions a real scs must have but it is not yet a workable one)
FUNCTIONS:
Knowledge-Retrieval: Searching is the notable function. I have a file (Infobase in folio-views terms) with all synonyms of my concepts. With a simple notation I find easily the concept I want. Then from the synonyms-infobase I have links to the actual concepts. For example: writing the word "computer" I have 220 hits. This means that I have 220 concepts which have in its name the word 'computer'. But writing "computer-" I see on the left "computer-227". Then I fill up the number 227 and then I have ONE hit, the concept 'computer'.
Concept Relations: I'm doing inherittance semi-manually. The program finds the general-attributes and then I copy them!!
Definition's Vicious-Circle Problem: We always encounter this problem in todays encyclopedias and dictionaries. I solved it in this system by dividing the definitions into analytical and synthetical ones.
