I am not familiar with this product, but based on the brief blurb, I'm working on a Free version: http://www.onemodel.org http://www.onemodel.org. The web site is really outdated but the code works as the best personal organizer I've ever used. Very efficient, unfortunately I haven't posted the .jar to download yet so you have to compile it, and configure postgres, but I hope to get the web site updated with a free .jar, in a couple of weeks. At the moment it's keyboard-driven, desktop-only. But everything you need to know is on the screen, and it is very efficient for note-taking, brainstorming, making lists of lists, everything interlinkable, and lets you store either lists of blurbs or as mapped to reality: ie, entities that have attributes like an object model built on the fly by virtue of just using the system. There's a mailing list ready for use. Again, I meant to have the web site better updated with the current status, but the INSTALLING in github is accurate, the tools works well and has good data integrity and high efficiency. I use it for everything now. And I'll try to post a jar within a couple of weeks. I'm just really slow right now. I think the possibilities with the concepts are very big, and it's a working foundation.

That looks like a fun project. I like the idea of looking toward an improbable future goal for the sake of better understanding simple problems facing us today (like how to represent and compute semantics). I think the really difficult problems for that project will probably be importing data into the model (i.e. semantic analysis of content) and scaling the model to a great enough extent for the real benefits of using a semantic structure to appear. The problem of defining a networked object model is arguably already solved, but I don't think there are any solutions that could scale to the extreme number of concepts and connections that such a system would require. I also have to say, that site really made me want to use Smalltalk as a PIM for some reason.

  Thanks. I'm hoping we can see concrete progress, or learn well, by being able to efficiently put our own notes in a system that lets those notes naturally become an object model, then share it with others and collaborate in the data. So at least that much data is computable, or structured enough to grow well together. I'm hoping the network effect can get us going enough to take us to the next level or learn how to move forward from there. I.e., if several people start putting our notes in a structured, computable model, and we collaborate, then we have all our notes in a possibly single place. That could become a community of practice. That's a step toward having all useful info on that topic, in a single, extremely useful model. Etc. (At a minimum, I get to use it. :) If there are other effective Free systems for this, I've missed them but am interested.
