Extractions: (Place-Saint-Henri station in Montreal The city of Montreal's metro system ( ) was inaugurated on October 14, 1966, during the tenure of Mayor Jean Drapeau. It consisted in the beginning of 26 stations on three lines; this has been expanded to 65 stations on four lines, serving the centre and east of Montreal Island with a connection to Longueuil and, soon, Laval. A number of design choices were informed by Montreal's winter conditions. Unlike the metros of other large cities, nearly all metro station entrances iin Montreal are completely enclosed, usually in small, separate entrance buildings. All entrances are set back from the sidewalk. Several downtown stations are also connected directly to buildings, making the metro a linchpin of Montreal's famous underground city.

EXPECT Introduction such as latitude, longitude, airports, seaports, mayor, subwaysystem, restaurant,etc predecessor was the Explainable Expert systems architecture Swartout et http://www.isi.edu/expect/link/expect_nutshell.html
Extractions: EXPECT in a Nutshell In contrast, EXPECT represents explicitly both factual knowledge and problem-solving knowledge and its knowledge acquisition tools can reason about each piece of knowledge and analyze its interactions with others in the context of problem solving. EXPECT is tightly integrated with Loom, a state-of-the-art knowledge representation system based on description logic. EXPECT generates automatically an Interdependency Model (IM) that captures the relationships between different pieces of knowledge in a knowledge base. EXPECT's KA tool uses this IM to determine what KA tasks the user needs to complete. A basic type of interdependency occurs between ontologies and problem-solving knowledge, i.e., how the ontologies are used during problem solving and what problem-solving knowledge is required given the ontological knowledge about the domain. In effect, this basic IM determines which aspects of a very large background ontology are relevant to the problem at hand. For example, the class city may have attributes such as latitude, longitude, airports, seaports, mayor, subway-system, restaurant, etc. In a transportation application, when the user wants to add a city to the knowledge base, the IM would determine that only airport and seaport information is required and would not ask a user to specify any of the other attributes (such as the restaurants or the name of the mayor).

London Underground, The The London Underground must be one of the easier subway systems to use. I haven tbeen able to discover if this puzzling architecture was necessary because of http://www.galactic-guide.com/articles/6R103.html
Extractions: The funny thing about the London Underground, or the Tube, as it is usually called , is that it doesn't go underground that much. OK, in the inner city it does, but further out you can view the country/cityscape and some grassy ramps to your heart's content. The London Underground must be one of the easier subway systems to use. There are very clear maps of the network which use colour coded lines, and which give clear indications of all stations and where you can hop over to another line. These lines have funny names such as the "Waterloo and City" , the "Jubilee" , and the "Picadilly" Lines. Their positions on the map, however, give virtually no indication of their actual geographical locations, or relative distances.

It is a small book where he muses about his experiences in the Paris Metro and engages in "ethnography" of its population. There is an interesting bit about the tendency to give stations the name of some historic figure (e.g., "Charles de Gaulle - Etoile") or of some famous feature of the area (e.g., "Bastille"). Perhaps those in charge of naming such stations believed that the names would foment an appreciation of the history of the city or an appreciation of the unique places of the city. Being confronted with those names on a daily basis as one moves from one point to another might cause further reflection about Charles de Gaulle's contribution to France, for instance. Auge, however, notes that the effort to increase civic knowledge and pride by naming subway stations in this manner actually may have the opposite effect. Think of the times you have coursed through a public transportation system and looked at maps and signs to orient yourself. Perhaps, during your first encounter with these names, you may have had some sustained thoughts about their referents. As time passes and familiarity with the transportation system increases, however, the names lose that historical/regional reference and they simply become scribbles and/or noises referring to that stop where the dentist's office is.

He usually replies that what he is describing is the cultural and institutional inertia of capitalist and governmental institutions. It is the ingrained culture and framework of presuppositions that lead to problematic behavior and not necessarily an agreed conspiracy among the powerful.

Bruce Fowle Bio of the proposed Second Avenue subway system; and projects a number of institutionsand regional transportation systems. his Bachelor of architecture degree in http://provost.syr.edu/lectures/fowle.asp
Extractions: As a long time proponent of environmental conservation, Mr. Fowle helped guide the firm to a leadership position in sustainable design. Among its achievements are the design of the first green skyscraper in the country, the first green guidelines for residential high-rises in New York, and green guidelines for a number of institutions and regional transportation systems. Work is just beginning on articulating the on-going sustainability agenda at Syracuse University. In 1985, Mr. Fowle was named to the American Institute of Architects College of Fellows, and in 1994 he was elected Academician of the National Academy. Syracuse University, where he received his Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1960, named him the 2001 recipient of the prestigious George Arents Pioneer Medal for excellence in his field. He is a member of the American Institute of Architects Design Committee and a Fellow of the Institute for Urban Design. He is a former Vice President of the AIA/New York Chapter and former Chairman of the AIA/New York Planning and Urban Design Committee. Mr. Fowle received the AIAs 1994 Harry B. Rutkins Award for his contribution toward the innovative re-zoning of Upper East Side avenues, and he continues to lend his expertise to the shaping of zoning and urban design initiatives throughout the City. Immediately after 9/11, Mr. Fowle helped initiate the formation of New York New Visions, a coalition of 21 architecture, planning, and design organizations that helped define design principles and establish processes for the rebuilding of Lower Manhattan. He continues to serve on the executive board which acts in an advisory capacity for the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation. The coalition will receive an award at the 2003 National Convention of the American Institute of Architects.
