This chapter intends to be an informal, plain overview of the Noos
representation language. The goal is for the reader to acquire an overall
feeling of the language an its features and biases. The rest of the
chapters in this monograph provide the technical explanation and the
programming specifics required for a real understanding of Noos
characteristics and utility. The chapter also provides pointers to the
other chapters and sections in the monograph that deal with the concepts
and constructs introduced here.
