By making each child of fanio 'multi-directional' one can more closely
approach an initially uncommitted (instructable) connection structure.
There are situations when using a graph structure a node number is not
required. One might choose to use a gensym number system.
Annotation and 'referential pointing' are important features of newer
semantic representation technologies.
Back in 2001, when I showed multiple types of semantic representation
used simultaneously inside the (same) metadata element of SVG (including
the SVG metadata BE example on the web), there were people, such as the
topic maps systems developers, who discussed using topic maps-like
principles to represent ontological information instead of the XML
hierarchical way. There was also appreciation for the ideas I espoused
in my UKL system. In the data structure I show below, which [is a part
of what] I call {David's} Processing Connection Service (PCS), we see
one of the important components of UKL.
