Stefano, Eric, Ryan et al, thank's for spending time with this - as it
seems, internationalization - issue of mine.

I followed the instructions above. It still wouldn't work, ending up in a
basic Semantic Bank, even when trying the tips provided by Eric Miller.
Fortunately, having a dejà-vu about the with-standing 'lingua
franca'-problem in computing, I upgraded a unit to Slackware 10.2 for
Firefox-support and installed a Firefox 1.0.6 in US English. Although, using
the "data icon" on
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/ didn't help matters,
publishing a 'news item'-RDF from the commercial site www.infoworld.com did!
It turned up as Starting Points - News (1).
It seems to me, that the old problem of internationalization, dating back to
the times when I was using Floppy Discs large as underlays, still persists.
Up to now, I've been expecting
http://www.w3.org/International/Activity.html.
Please, provide a system reference on the Install-page of Semantic Bank,
regarding; OS-platform, Firefox-version, language-versions and the expected
result of the default installation of Semantic Bank and Piggy Bank.

Stefano, thanks for the quick input!

The basic Semantic Bank, as described below, still stands - in all of my
OS-platforms.
What, of the apparent, is eluding me? I just don't see it.

Ryan, a quick response, as always, appreciated.

With no man.-pages available, it would be helpful, as a starting point for
new Semantic-Bank users, to provide a reference setup for
http://localhost:8888/bank and an image co-responding to an expected default
view of Semantic-Bank, when initially loaded. Also, a brief description of
system and OS-platform requirements or at least a referenced setup, would be
appreciated. Thus, narrowing down the field of possible faults and
misconceptions.

A thousand pardons, in my Microsoft OS-enviroments I have a BIOS-code setup,
avoiding keyboard buffers-^C in DOS-sessions and relying on Ctrl+Break/Pause
to do the job. Pressing Ctrl+Break causes the mentioned flurry of event
messages in the XPP-cmd window. Disabling the BIOS-code setup and on
pressing Ctrl+C, the Semantic-Bank script neatly provides a
Y/N-input-question, enabling the user to end the script or not. But, in
Debian-Ubuntu or Slackware 10.1 bin/bash-consoles a STOP,INT,HUP or
TERMINATE signal won't stop the script and thus block the Port 8888 from
further script-a-do. A crude KILL works though, as in any situation.

home page is of one that's been used heavily."
All that I've done, is to follow the instructions on
http://simile.mit.edu/semantic-bank/install.html and then expecting to see a
default Semantic Bank as depicted on the page
http://simile.mit.edu/semantic-bank/index.html. A standard run-of-the-mill
showcase.

no data), and not particularly interesting typed data (classes, properties,
etc.). What do you mean by 'no descriptive labels?' To me, that sounds
like the ontologies haven't been loaded, but I'm not sure what indicates to
you that no descriptive labels exist."
A basic Semantic Bank is to me one that loads the paraphernalia, a
right-most page-column headlined as "Starting Point" with a "Type here to
search"-fields below - nothing else. Also a left-most page-column headlined
as "Browse Data by Type" with an odd twenty tags as "Facade (10)" and
"Ontology (11)" available. As mentioned above, I'm expecting a showcase.

I'm not letting the fabled 'Cat out of the bag' - referencing
'Pig-in-a-poke' - until it works as depicted on the page
http://simile.mit.edu/semantic-bank/index.html and I fully understand it's
configurations. I'm in a test enviroment, so the installed Semantic Banks
aren't currently available. Expect to see it at data standards .org and
.com/.se in the future.
