Abstract
The proposed ANSI standard for conceptual graphs codifies the basic core that has formed the basis for most CG implementations since 1984. Standards are essential for building and sharing development tools and for supporting commercial applications. But the CG community has traditionally been a coalition of researchers who have been actively extending conceptual graphs with a variety of experimental features that often go far beyond the core and are sometimes incompatible with it. This paper discusses the recently developed CG standard and its approach to standardizing the CG core while allowing innovative extensions.
