Abstract
PEIRCE is a project aiming to build a state-of-the-art, industrial strength conceptual graph workbench. PEIRCE is integrating the conceptual graph development efforts that are taking place around the world. There are already over 40 researchers from over 8 countries involved in the project. This paper describes the PEIRCE project and the structure for managing the distributed development of PEIRCE. PEIRCE will provide a robust, portable, freely available conceptual graph workbench that will fast track new techniques into the community; facilitate comparison of competing techniques; help researchers cooperate in development; and speed application development.
