(Mus.) A system of compromises in the tuning of organs,             pianofortes, and the like, whereby the tones generated             with the vibrations of a ground tone are mutually modified             and in part canceled, until their number reduced to the             actual practicable scale of twelve tones to the octave.             This scale, although in so far artificial, is yet closely             suggestive of its origin in nature, and this system of             tuning, although not mathematically true, yet satisfies             the ear, while it has the convenience that the same twelve             fixed tones answer for every key or scale, C[sharp]             becoming identical with D[flat], and so on.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
temporal database          A {database} that can store and retrieve temporal       data, that is, data which depends on time in some way.          [More details?   Examples?]          (1996-05-25)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
temporal logic          An extension of {predicate calculus} which includes       notation for arguing about *when* statements are true.   Time       is discrete and extends indefinitely into the future.   Three       {prefix} operators, represented by a circle, square and diamond       mean "is true at the next time instant", "is true from now on"       and "is eventually true".   x U y means x is true until y is       true.   x P y means x precedes y.          There are two types of formula: "state formulae" about things       true at one point in time, and "path formulae" about things       true for a sequence of steps.   An example of a path formula is       "x U y", and example of a state formula is "next x" or a       simple atomic formula such at "waiting".          "true until" in this context means that a state formula holds       at every point in time up to a point when another formula       holds.   "x U y" is the "strong until" and implies that there       is a time when y is true.   "x W y" is the "weak until" in       which it is not necessary that y holds eventually.          There are two types of temporal logic used: branching time and       linear time.   The basic propositional temporal logic cannot       differentiate between the two, though.   Linear time considers       only one possible future, in branching time you have several       alternative futures.   In branching temporal logic you have the       extra operators "A" (for "all futures") and "E" (for "some       future").   For example, "A(work U go_home)" means "I will work       until I go home" and "E(work U go_home)" means "I may work       until I go home".          (1997-01-21)

Tim Berners-Lee          The man who invented the {World-Wide Web} while       working at the Center for European Particle Research (CERN).       Now Director of the {World-Wide Web Consortium}.          Tim Berners-Lee graduated from the Queen's College at Oxford       University, England, 1976.   Whilst there he built his first       computer with a soldering iron, {TTL} gates, an {M6800}       processor and an old television.          He then went on to work for {Plessey Telecommunications}, and       D.G. Nash Ltd (where he wrote software for intelligent       printers and a {multi-tasking} {operating system}), before       joining CERN, where he designed a program called 'Enquire',       which was never published, but formed the conceptual basis for       today's {World-Wide Web}.          In 1984, he took up a fellowship at CERN, and in 1989, he       wrote the first {World-Wide Web} {server}, "{httpd}", and the       first client, "WorldWideWeb" a {hypertext} browser/editor       which ran under {NEXTSTEP}.   The program "WorldWideWeb" was       first made available within CERN in December, and on the       {Internet} as a whole in the summer of 1991.          In 1994, Tim joined the {Laboratory for Computer Science}       (LCS) at the {Massachusetts Institute of Technology} (MIT).       In 1999, he became the first holder of the {3Com} Founders       chair.   He is also the author of "Weaving the Web", on the       past present and future of the Web.          In 2001, Tim was made a fellow of The Royal Society.          Tim is married to Nancy Carlson. They have two children, born       1991 and 1994.          {(http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/Longer.html)}.          (2001-06-17)
