			* We continued to build out the Discourse wiki on the talk page, including developing conventions for tagging parts of syntax and relations
			* We discovered that what we are working towards is a set of (mostly syntactical) conventions for creating Discourse Graphs -- almost like a Markdown for Discourse Graphs
			* We extended the SPARQL query system
			* We discussed discourse graph discovery algorithms
			* We discussed visualization options
			* We realized that the ability to notice and capture disparate mentions of identical or similar topics would be a very desirable feature supporting collaboration

Computation, Queries and Answers: some thoughts on synthesis and discourse graphs

	I suppose that this shouldn’t be surprising since since the discourse graph starts with a question, but the process ~~described by~~ the discourse graph ~~describes a form of~~ query execution. Perhaps a synthesis query? A query which returns multiple items of information (claims) that a computational process can synthesize to answer a question.		What is the act of synthesis, and what does it have to do with discourse graphs?

			Synthesis is the process by which one or more computational processes process the same set of information to generate a coherent understanding of (model of) the world. The set of information in this case is the discourse graph, which contains the information processed and shared in the act of attempting to answer a question, and information regarding the provenance of the information.

			‘This is an epistemic process made perhaps most explicit by the scientific process, but it is generalizable in the sense that it can be used to describe two farmers sharing observations about the weather, or two parallel processes within a question answering system sharing results to synthesize a single answer.

			I suppose that this shouldn’t be surprising since since the discourse graph starts with a question, but the process that the discourse graph supports has much in common with query execution following an API call, but perhaps query execution that attempts to answer a question whose answer requires synthesis. Perhaps a synthesis query? A query which returns multiple items of information (claims) that a computational process can synthesize to answer a question.
