Knowledge Management Through Minimal Syntaxes

" summary

gLean is a knowledge-management app that models domains as combinable blocks and aims to enable YahooPipes-style workflows by combining blocks of references, content, annotations, and parsing logic. The talk examines terse syntaxes and tools—Gemini/GemText, Emacs‑Hyperbole’s Kotl, TXR (parser and Lisp), and Qiuy (Recursive Modelling Language)—and shows concrete interoperability examples: converting between Kotl and GemText, using TXR to transform raw GemText containing TXR syntax into compiled GemText, and using annotations on blocks to impose logical document structures.
