The Workshop on Term Subsumption Languages … The Workshop on Term Subsumption Languages in Knowledge Representation was held 18–20 October 1989 at the Inn at Thorn Hill, located in the White Mountain region of New Hampshire.
The workshop was organized by Peter F. Patel-Schneider of AT&T
Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey; Marc Vilain of MITRE, Bedford, Massachusetts; Ramesh S. Patil of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); and Bill Mark of the Lockheed
AI Center, Menlo Park, California. Support was provided by the American Association for Artificial Intelligence and AT&T Bell Laboratories.
This workshop was the latest in a series in this area. Previous workshops have had a slightly narrower focus, being explicitly concerned with KL-One, the first knowledge representation
system based on a term subsumption language (TSL), or its successor, NIKL. Two of these workshops were held in 1981 (Schmolze and Brachman 1982) and 1986 (Moore 1986).
The workshop brought together 34 researchers and students in the field from the United States, Germany, Austria, Italy, Canada, and Korea. Its primary goal was to review the field after about 10 years of work, exchange ideas, and set up research directions
for the future. set up research directions
for the future.
