;;;This file  provides a very simple notion of GENERIC-AREA-OF-INTEREST,
;;;with two main subclasses: BUSINESS-AREA and RESEARCH-AREA.
;;;Areas can have sub-areas, e.g., adaptive-hypermedia is a sub-area of
;;;hypermedia.
;;;I have also done an initial list of research areas relevant to AKT.  I have
;;;used the sub-area-of slot very timidly, because I know that these are very 
;;;sensitive relations!
