: As I stated before, I see no point in denying the existence of the occam91/occam 3 specification, which influenced the design of occam 2.1, and has found use in describing parallel algorithms. [[User:Letdorf|Letdorf]] 12:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC).

: I've been asked to look in here. Can someone please tell me what Occam 3 is? I have no idea since I was not involved in anyway. Exactly what features did Occam 3 add? Was this something that Geoff Barrett did? What algorithms specifically use the features of Occam 3 and what are those features? If the language was used in a journal published paper to describe an algorithm then I have no doubt it should be included here. But I do not know that this is the case. I assume that such references would be included in anything added. The only significant revision of which I am aware is Occam Pi and Peter Welch at Kent University is the authority on that. He will know about Occam 3 too, I have no doubt. So he's the man to ask. I really do not feel qualified to answer this question. Geoff Barret BTW is alive and well, I heard recently, and working at Broadcom in the UK. Ask him.
