Communication to a Semantic Web standards related e-forum

 

A focused position statement on the notions that has been briefly discussed here regarding the artificiality of semantic web ontologies is at [bead 188 and 189]

 

 

 

Paul,

 

After we got cut off today I couldn't call you back, because your number didn't register properly on my cell phone.

 

I can see that you have a very broad approach to issues of knowledge, but my own projects tend to be fairly narrowly focused on specific goals.  I would certainly be interested if you have some specific suggestions for representation or reasoning.  I have too many ongoing projects to follow leads or general suggestions or references.

This note shows a dimension to the problem that Mitre and other organizations have.  To a very great extent, this problem is well illustrated by the note send to the BCNGroup from a leading “knowledge scientist”, (ontologist).  Many other beads in the many bead threads of the BCNGroup digital Glass bead Games have similar illustrations. 

 

The specific suggestions come in Chapter 6:

with an extension of Peirce and Mills, and in the Roadmap for US Customs

I have noticed some things about your presentations that I agree with, but I would focus on aggregation of semantic primitives into emergent ontological structures rather than on the questionable notion of an upper ontology.  In the RoadMap you see that I do use an upper abstract ontology.... but this is in the context of a stratified theory where middle ontologies are used and thought about in a different way than is the upper.

 

 

Comments will be posted into this “glass bead game”.
