  Knowledge Query and Manipulation Language
  KQML
  
     <language, protocol, artificial intelligence> (KQML) A
     language and protocol, based on SGML, for exchanging
     information and knowledge, proposed in 1993(?).
  
     Work on KQML is led(?) by Tim Finin <finin@umbc.edu> of the
     University of Maryland Baltimore County, Lab for Advanced
     Information Technology.  It is part of the ARPA Knowledge Sharing Effort
     .
  
     The KQML message format and protocol can be used to interact
     with an intelligent system, either by an application program
     , or by another intelligent system.  KQML's
     "performatives" are operations that agents perform on each
     other's knowledge and goal stores.  Higher-level
     interactions such as contract nets and negotiation are built
     using these.  KQML's "communication facilitators" coordinate
     the interactions of other agents to support knowledge sharing.
  
     Experimental prototype systems support concurrent engineering,
     intelligent design, intelligent planning, and scheduling.
