Proposed Group: Procedural Memory Knowledge Representation Community Group

The Procedural Memory Knowledge Representation Community Group has been proposed by Daniel Ramos:

Current knowledge representation systems suffer from massive duplication and fragmentation: the same knowledge (e.g., a Unicode character, mathematical symbol, or spatial concept) is duplicated across fonts, embeddings, accessibility metadata, and visual renderings. Redundant representations can create maintenance, performance, security, and licensing issues.

The PM-KR Community Group will develop a knowledge representation paradigm where knowledge is stored once as executable procedures (like font programs or mathematical formula definitions) and referenced via symlink-style composition, enabling both humans and AI systems to consume the same procedural source.

The group will study data models, execution semantics, conformance levels, and relationships with other W3C technologies (e.g., RDF, OWL, JSON-LD).

Note: This group is motivated by prior work on Knowledge3D, and that work may inform the group’s discussions. That work does not constrain the group’s discussions, nor will it be a deliverable of this group.

You are invited to support the creation of this group. Once the group has a total of 5 supporters, it will be launched and people can join to begin work. In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account.

Once launched, the group will no longer be listed as “proposed”; it will be in the list of current groups.

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org

Thank you,
