computing_systems_ontology

get_slot_value(here,:DOCUMENTATION): This is an ontology for computing systems, their origins, their creators and their relations with other such systems. It was created to support the ongoing maintenance requirements of the Bushy Tree Diagram created by John Redant, Bruce Damer and others: http://www.digibarn.com/stories/desktop-history/bushytree.html which was inspired by 'The Xerox "Star": A Retrospective' http://www.digibarn.com/friends/curbow/star/retrospect/index.html

computing_systems_class	This is a bookkeeping class needed by the Nooron App Architecture.
computing_systems_app	A computing systems app contains individual instances of the ComputingSystems class and/or institutions and people associated with them..
Person	You know, a PERSON! When this gets more involved lets put it in the people_ontology.
Institution	Institutions are any kind of organization, including businesses, governments, non-profits and so on.
ComputingSystem	Computing Systems are either Software Systems or Hardware Systems.
SoftwareSystem	Software Systems are thought of as being capable of running on one or more Hardware Systems.
HardwareSystem	Hardware Systems should really have a slot on them called Ran which is the inverse of RanOn.
