<div class="markdown_content"><p>Apart from the PhD of 2005, two additional books are published about Gellish:<br/> 1. Semantic Information Modeling in Formalized Languages (http://www.lulu.com/shop/http://www.lulu.com/shop/andries-van-renssen/semantic-information-modeling-in-formalized-languages/paperback/product-22438719.html)<br/> 2. Semantic Information Modeling Methodology (http://www.lulu.com/shop/andries-van-renssen/semantic-information-modeling-methodology/paperback/product-22457361.html)</p> <p>The first book describes primarily the definition of the Gellish formalized languages (Formal English and other formal language variants) and the second book focusses on modelling while using the formal language.</p> <p>Further documentation can be found on the Gellish website <a href="http://www.gellish.net." rel="nofollow">http://www.gellish.net.</a></p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>The Gellish Dictionary version 8 (Aug 2008) is published (see the Download area).<br /> Version 8 has extended semantic expression capabilities, for example:<br /> - Relation types for the expression of facts that are by definition the case.<br /> - Relation types for the definition of functions and roles in occurrences and roles of people inprojects. <br /> - Relation types that support data modelling. This enables to specify conceptuel data models in Gellish, that can be used by generic software to create instances, thus eliminating the need for conventional data base design.<br /> - Relation types to specify additional facts about documents and their structure, authors, etc.</p> <p>Other extensions are for example:<br /> - Additional types of instruments in line with the developments of IEC 61987.<br /> - Additional types of activities, especially in the area of inspection and maintenance.<br /> - Additional units of measure.<br /> - Additions to align with the developments in the reference data in ISO 15926-4.<br /> - Additions related to inspection and maintenance and ISO 14224.<br /> - Additions related to risk and safety and IEC 61508-4.<br /> - Additions related to Systems Engineering and ISO 15288.</p> <p>We wish you success with the use of this additional power of the Gellish language.<br /> Note that the Gellish Wiki <a href="http://gellish.wiki.sourceforge.net/">http://gellish.wiki.sourceforge.net/</a> provides a lot of ideas for the application of Gellish and provides guidance and explanations.</p> <p>We recommend you to advise others to subscribe to the gellish-furum mailing list.<br /> We also recommend you to issue your requests for help or for clarification via the Forum called Help. If you click the button for Monitoring that Forum, you will be notified about questions and answers, to learn from others.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>The Dutch organisation for infrastructure (including roads, railways, and public space) has selected the knowledge modelling language Gellish as their preferred language for conversion of knowledge that is currently contained in documents and textual specification manuals into computer interpretable knowledge. By doing so, CROW expects to remain at the forefront of selling state of the art knowledge and to prepare themselves for the era of the semantic web.<br /> CROW selected Gellish because of its expression power, its relative simple structure, its opennesss for extensions and its robustness in view of future changes in technology.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>On September 14, 2005 Andries van Renssen got his PhD degree at the Delft University of Technology on a thesis called: Gellish, A generic extensible ontological language - Design and application of a universal data structure. A summary of the thesis in English and Dutch is available on this website (see 'Files'). The full thesis can be ordered via <a href="https://secure.library.tudelft.nl/formulieren/dup_orderform.html" rel="nofollow">https://secure.library.tudelft.nl/formulieren/dup_orderform.html</a> or downloaded via <a href="http://www.library.tudelft.nl/dissertations/" rel="nofollow">http://www.library.tudelft.nl/dissertations/</a> (Updates of Appendix A and B are available via this website as sheets in the TOPini file).</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>The January 2007 release contains the following files:<br /> Part 0:<br /> - Upper ontology (TOPini) with a definition of relation types, their required roles and the objects that can play those roles. All three are arranged in their own subtype/supertype hierarchy, starting with a common root object, called anything.<br /> - TOPini-extensions, which contains additional relations between concepts in TOPini, especially relations that specify which relation types should be used to create facts about individual objects as guided by knowledge (relations between kinds of things).<br /> Part 1:<br /> - Activities, events and processes.<br /> - Aspects, properties, qualities and roles of things &amp; correlations and laws.<br /> - Documents and identification of things.<br /> - General physical objects, facilities, systems, static equipments, heat transfer equipment and civil and structural engineering &amp; architectural and buildings.<br /> Part 2:<br /> - Materials of construction, substances, solid and fluid materials.<br /> - Geographical objects, life forms and organizations.<br /> - Electrical items, instrumentation, control, valves and IT hardware and software.<br /> Part 3:<br /> - Piping, connections and protection materials<br /> - Mathematics and shapes.<br /> - Qualitative aspects (property values) and qualitative information.<br /> Part 4:<br /> - Rotating equipment, electrical machines, transport and solids handling.<br /> - Symbols and annotation.<br /> - Units of measure (ASCII and Unicode) and scales.<br /> - Roles of aspects (new!). <br /> This includes roles that are played by aspects, especially when being possessed by a kind of physical object. For example, ‘bearing diameter’. This is not a subtype of diameter, but a role of a diameter when being possessed by a bearing. These roles are required e.g. when data in existing systems are mapped or when constraints are specified that are not generally valid for the aspect, but only in the context of being possessed by a particular kind of thing. </p> <p>All parts can in principle be collected in a single table, in which the used relation types are defined in (and thus can be interpreted by) the collection of ontological facts that are expressed in the TOPini data set.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Open Source standard data.</p> <p>Open Source generally means Open Source Software, but now the Gellish English Language <br /> definition release extends the Open Source software community to Open Source Data. This <br /> creates new opportunities for system independent computer interpretable data exchange. </p> <p>The Gellish project released Open Source Standard Data in the form of a Gellish English <br /> Dictionary, Taxonomy, Ontology and Knowledge base for the Semantic Web.<br /> See: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=28353">http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=28353</a></p> <p>The Gellish Open Source Data is provided in a standard Gellish Table. That table is defined in <br /> the recently released free available document The Gellish Table and its Formats. </p> <p>Software developers are invited to develop software that is able to use the Gellish language <br /> and dictionary and that is able to import and/or export application data in the form of a Gellish <br /> compliant Gellish Table. This might include for example: exchange of product model data, <br /> design data, requirements, knowledge, product catalogues, transaction data, messages for <br /> software agents, specifications of processes, etc.</p> <p>The Gellish Forum manages the quality and further development of the Gellish language. The <br /> Gellish Forum is the authority to certify Gellish Powered software, recognized by the right to <br /> use the Gellish Powered logo.</p> <p>The Gellish Project recently released a stable version of the Gellish language.<br /> Guidelines and Examples are also released. </p> <p>Users from various application domains are encouraged to add domain specific concepts to <br /> the Gellish Dictionary/Taxonomy and to issue proposals for the extension of the general Open <br /> Source Gellish Dictionary/Taxonomy.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Guidelines for the application of Gellish English released in the download area.</p> <p>Various files with Guides on the use of Gellish English are now released, together with <br /> examples of Gellish usage in the form of Gellish Tables about individual products, product requirement specifications and modeled knowledge. For example a lubrication oil system and the specification of a road.</p> <p>Gellish English is a neutral system independent data exchange language. It contains a <br /> computer interpretable Open Source English Dictionary, Taxonomy, Ontology and<br /> Knowledge base.</p> <p>The Gellish language is defined in a single Gellish Table and Gellish language usage is also <br /> expressed in an identical standard Gellish Table. </p></div>
