Abstract :
The reason for the value of a functional schema interpreter as a new programming language is based upon both the capacity of a functional language to express knowledge that has a formal representation on a computer and the rich informal semantics that can be attached to a diagram (a schema). The combination provides an elicitation, a specification and design language that can be run. The effect is the improved performance of knowledge system design through a path of minimal error
