Miscellaneaous pieces for Ontologies Interoperability
I will gather here some references that I think could be helpfull to
reach some WORKING, REAL, USEFULL ontologies interoperability.
From Francis Heylighen
whom I scarcely found mentionned in ontology papers:
Bootstrapping knowledge representations: from entailment meshes via semantic nets to learning webs
Of course, if he does not use the word "Ontology" he is ignored within
the field.
But he cares for exactly the problems I find critical in ontologies
interoperability.
From Graham
Clark,
yet another valuable work which seldom appears associated with the "O"
word :-)
Analyzing Word Meaning and Representation by Navigating Dictionary
Definitions
looks like something which is working
What I find interesting is the attempt to define a basic set of
concepts from which all others could be bootstrapped.
A specially enlightening comment from within the above link :
Using Relations Within Conceptual Systems to Translate Across Conceptual Systems
*
From Gregory J. Chaitin, still no mention of the word "Ontology" in this one...
On the intelligibility of the universe and the notions of simplicity, complexity and irreducibility
But if ontologies are not about understanting the universe, in which kind of business are we?
Don't we have to ultimately end up with some implementation(s) and then actually deal with representation problems?
Better think ahead about that...
