Hi Wikipedians --

Sorry about the problems, caused mostly by haste and newbieness to Wikipedia.

I have been corresponding by email with Acro Terion, and I have submitted the following to him/her. Please let me know whether you will unblock me so that I can officially submit the material below.

Thanks Adrian.walker (talk) 15:52, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi Acro --

Thanks for your note, below.

I see your point about musicians and others. However, I'm hoping that appearance in a refereed journal is acceptable as evidence of being notable -- it means that there has been high level peer review, even if the names of the reviewers are noramally not known.

Below is a draft for a new section in Wikipedia, title "Internet Business Logic". You rcomments and corections would be much appreciated. If you find that it has a chance of surviving, I'd like to submit it please, and then link to it form "alternatives to SQL', "expert systems' and so on.

Would it be possible please for you to unblock adrian.walker ?

Thanks,  -- Adrian


 * Internet Business Logic, (IBL), a kind of Wiki for writing and running knowledge. It combines three kinds of semantics: English, Logic, and Data. It provides automatic generation and execution of complex networked SQL, with English explanations of the results. It can also be used as a Service Oriented Architecture endpoint on the Internet. Shared use is free.

The IBL is derived from an experimental, non-networked, expert database system called Syllog [1,2]. Syllog was developed at IBM Yorktown research, where it was used experimentally for environmental reporting [3].

Using the IBL, one can write knowledge into a browser as syllogism-like rules in open vocabulary English. One can then run the rules, optionally over networked SQL databases, and one can get English explanations of the results. Since the author interface is a browser, the knowledge in the rules can be developed, Wiki-style, by several people.

Underlying the IBL and its precursors is the notion that we need three kinds of semantics to work together in order tighten the link between requirements and programs: (1) data semantics, as in a SQL schema or in RDF; (2) logical model theory semantics that specifies what conclusions should follow from any collection of rules and facts; and, (3) the real world meaning of English words and phrases. The IBL approach to English meaning differs from Chomsky grammar-based controlled vocabulary methods such as [4]. The IBL vocabulary for writing rules is open, but the system can be used to manage and reason about controlled vocabularies. In IBL rules, the meaning of English words and phrases is strict. This is achieved via a trade off -- namely, if an author wants two English sentences to mean the same thing, he must write rules that state this explicitly.

It can be argued that an English and logical semantics for rules becomes more important if rules are to be shared on the internet [5,6].

The IBL is online at [7], and shared use is free.

 * Dear Mr. Walker,
 * I'm sorry, but writing about your own work does not establish notability, even with peer review. Peer review only establishes validity, for the most part. Now, if someone else writes about it, especially in a peer-reviewed journal, that goes a long way toward establishing notability. As far as getting unblocked, I suggest you review WP:INDEF for ideas on how to go about that. Good luck!--uɐɔlnʌɟoʞǝɹɐs 17:23, 18 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Adrian-


 * Given the fact that you're a co-author for every reference but one, the references don't constitute secondary sources, and are inadmissible.


 * Since you've posted our email correspondence on your (blocked) userpage, I see no reason to have further off-wiki discussion: it can happen on the userpage. I will not unblock this account.


 * Regards, Acroterion
