Really cool.I've been working on semantic models for sometime. At my work we do loads of spreadsheets+docs+ other things which are supposed to communicate ideas.But unfortunately it never seems to communicate the ideas as is.Take an example.I were to a market to buy some vegetables.As soon as the shop keeper says '1 Kg is Rs 20', it immediately communicates how much i'll need to pay.Its because we all share the common formal semantic for maths we get to ship ideas easily.But not so in financial software(where i work).Ideas take spreadsheets+word-docs+experts to have a call on!Can't it be simpler?Like the visual realization of the spread sheet example shows it can be simpler!
