I like it when people think at this level. Wolfram wants to make the world computable, so that our computers can answer questions like “where is the International Space Station right now.” That requires a level of machine intelligence that knows what the ISS is, that it’s in space, that it is orbiting the Earth, […]
Yesterday, I came across Bipplex, a search engine. Instead ranking pages based on something similar to Google’s PageRank, it uses an algorithm called Dwell Rank. Dwell rank is explained here. We learned that the biggest commitment a user can make to a web page and content, is the time the user spends on it. We […]
On Ontologies and Knowledge Sharing from the (free) book on Artifical Intelligence – Foundations of Computational Agents: a vocabulary of the categories of the things (both classes and properties) that a knowledge base may want to represent; an organization of the categories, for example into an inheritance hierarchy using subClassOf or subPropertyOf, or using Aristotelian […]
From RDF Data Cube Vocabulary. This document was published by the Government Linked Data Working Group as a Candidate Recommendation. There are many situations where it would be useful to be able to publish multi-dimensional data, such as statistics, on the web in such a way that it can be linked to related data sets […]
From The Organization Ontology This ontology is designed to enable publication of information on organizations and organizational structures including governmental organizations. It is intended to provide a generic, reusable core ontology that can be extended or specialized for use in particular situations. Will be interesting to watch the adoption rate. Can certainly help improve the […]
From OntologySummit2013 Communique Ontologies are human-intelligible and machine-interpretable representations of some portions and aspects of a domain. Since an ontology contains terms and their definitions, it enables the standardization of a terminology across a community or enterprise; thus, ontologies can be used as a type of glossary. Since ontologies can capture key concepts and their relationships in […]
This is something I wanted to do for a while. Here is the first attempt – an Ontology Bundle. It turns out that I did not blog as much about Ontology as I thought. But here are the Ontology blog posts in the chronological order. What is an Ontology? Satine Project Emotion Markup Language Ontology […]
An Innovation Improves: The Quality of a “thing” The Efficiency of a “thing” The Value of a “thing” The Effectiveness of a “thing” An Innovation has: A benefit Fulfills a need Solves a problem And to this may I add that an Innovation is The implementation of one or more ideas May have a business […]
They are published in the areas that include aviation, cancer, chemistry, computer science, food processing, food safety, genealogy, general medicine, geography, healthcare, manufacturing, mathematics, transportation, and weather. There are, in fact, hundreds of published ontologies. via technorati.com This directory from Google on Ontologies are a good starting point. Here are a couple of papers worth […]
Every organization needs to keep track of information about a set of entities. For a business, these may be customers, partners or competitors. It may also be items related to the marketplace, industry sector(s) and related industries. Here is a simple mind map of a few things I can think about. This is just a […]
