Associative Cooperation
Two independent groups work together
The method of cooperation is laid down in protocols that are developed and adjusted mutually if necessary.
Two rules are strong advised:
(1) Content creators may not use the software for commercial activities. Those are the rules
of the Creative
Commons Attribution License (CC BY). This will need further clarification.
(2) Content creators retain ownership of the data they produce and manage.
This is a basic idea, but there are still some 'loose ends' to be discussed.
(A) Content rating should be captured. What rating system do content creators use. Peer review is an option. Quality must be guaranteed in all cases.
(B) All software used so far, SWI Prolog, Graphiz and the self-developed parser Sdag in Java is Open Source. However, Sdag is not interactive, it has to be launced from the prompt. Using Sdag also assumes basic knowledge of Prolog and modal logic for creating the logical structured text that is converted into a directed analytical graph by Sdag. It is possible to develop an interactive software based on the Sdag parser, that does not presuppose this knowledge. But if there's no demand for it, and if the only person currently working on the software remains the only one, then it's not feasible. And if the software can't be tested by a peer group of future users, the project will also stall.
(C) The question is also, is this feasible. What about further support for the software once it works? The toolmakers could possibly have income from all kinds of services they provide. Security of the Database for querries. Training. Front editing. Additional graphic design of the embedded images. Development of additional modules. For example, creating a rough version of a directed analyticla graph based on unstructured text. Anlysis of text is limited to causality and/or sequential action. Might be doable with neural net techniques (DL) and logical language analysis, among others.
(D) Content creators will have to rely on subsidies from a government. The Flemish government? The FWO? But also the EU, for example. It could also become a project of international cooperation. There is currently already a version in English.
