He got his Masters at MIT in Systems Modeling (ME), then fell in love with AI. He has spent two decades since devising associative models of human memory that serialize into English clauses, seeking a theory to explain why natural language is so effortless. His company builds and sells NLP tools, including bulk lexicons, and consults on ontology and/or Java servlet projects.

In other work, he wrote commercial word processors for Wang and Lotus; simulated half a dozen NASA aerospace vehicles; created several scripting languages; got some early software patents (now expired); started five small software companies; and invented the US highway sand-barrel crash barrier.

Recent projects - see http://www.lexikos.com/projects.jsp - target Java web app toolkits for mapping English paragraphs or biotech data bases into Topic Maps and RDF, with special focus on the OWL-constrained cellular pathway models of BioPAX, one the first industrial-grade results of the semantic web.

OntologyDesignPatterns - upper-level models allowing interoperation
