3.0 SIGs

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) have been defined as a means of ensuring that interested, competent and externally recognized expertise is applied to technical and other knowledge domains for the prupose of defining the jargon and methods used within HRI projects. Participation in a SIG is a way of sharing and presrving knowledge, but also a way of gaining recognition for expertise that is subject to not only hri review, but eventually the entire world.

While there are hundreds of potential SIG's and the tenadncy will be to create finer and finer sub-groups, there are probably less than one hundred useful groups - provided the experts can avoid some time honoured traditions of some academics who seem to have a tendancy to create their own self promoting peer groups to idolize their founders.

The current list of SIG's follows in two categories;

project hri07e (infosys2) SIG's - which from the basis for the general purpose SIG's use for new project development.

Non-hri07e sigs which have been created for individual special projects for which the km6 format was useful to coordinate knowledge capture and reuse. For the most part there are few new CDID's and key codes associated with these SIG's as they should be created by the more generalized SIGs.

UPDATE 14/09/30

For most HRI users the listing of km6 sigs following will be read-only accessible via membership in the Google group labelled: Hammond River Institute.

If you want to contribute or manage one of the SIGs you will need to specifically request the "owner" to access the SIG as an editor. Please do if you have expertise in this field and especially if you are willing to contribute the sig's TOPICS, CDID's and/or Data Dcitionary
