At present, we have implemented the translators to support three          languages and the mappings between them:  CLCE, CGIF, and Prolog.          We intend to implement others as we get the time and funding to do          so, but these three are the ones we are primarily using right now.                    > The most interesting aspect of your diagram is what it tells us          > (and what it COULD tell us) about human cognition. What is it          > that makes the human interfaces more readable and comprehensible          > to humans than the machine interfaces?                    That is a good question, which involves many issues of linguistics,          psychology, and human factors.  We still do not have sufficient          guidelines for determining what really makes languages and graphics          readable and intelligible.                    For some aspects, such as the type hierarchy, graphics have been          used as a supplement to logic since the Tree of Porphyry in the          3rd century AD.  But it's not clear how to increase the expressive          power of the graphics without substantially reducing readability.                    The UML approach of having a half-dozen different kinds of diagrams          is also interesting.  Each one expresses a different view of aspects          of the logic and ontology.  It would be interesting to explore          systematic ways of highlighting, zooming, and focusing on various          aspects.                    > The distinction is all the more striking because the human          > interfaces are ""controlled"" interfaces, capable of being          > unambiguously mapped to strict common logic. So they lack some          > of the richness, the ambiguity, the color, and the metaphor          > of unrestricted natural languages.  Nevertheless, they are          > undeniably easier to read, expressed in more ""human"" terms,          > than the machine interface languages. I imagine the reasons          > for this difference have already been the subject of some          > serious study in the literature, but I suspect that there is          > room for considerably more.                    Unfortunately, the people who address human factors and those          who focus on the expressive power of the logic are almost          completely disjoint.  Furthermore, the journals and funding          agencies are partitioned in ways that have the effect of          keeping the skills disjoint.                    > Parenthetically, I would SUSPECT that the distinction between          > human interface languages and machine language interfaces          > bears at least SOME relationship to the distinction between          > good technical writing in natural language and bad technical          > writing in natural language.                    I certainly agree.  In fact, my view of the combination of          CLCE with graphics is to approach the style of a well-written,          freshman-level textbook in math or science.  CLCE would express          the precise definitions and axioms, the graphics tools would          present the illustrations, and the comments would provide          some of the background and motivation.  At present, we are          not processing the comments, but we might consider using the          analogy engine to process the comments for help facilities          and explanations.                    But there are many issues to be explored -- in human factors,          computability, and logical expressivity.                    http://ontolog.cim3.net/file/work/OntologySummit2007/reference/comlog--JohnSowa_20070328.gif          ",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,04/01/2007 17:01:47

It is used to reason about the objects within that domain.                    Ontologies are used in artificial intelligence, the semantic web, software engineering and information architecture as a form of knowledge representation about the world or some part of it. Ontologies generally describe:                     a.. Individuals: the basic or ""ground level"" objects           b.. Classes: sets, collections, or types of objects[1]           c.. Attributes: properties, features, characteristics, or parameters that objects can have and share           d.. Relations: ways that objects can be related to one another          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology_%28computer_science%29           ","Taxonomy","Taxonomy, sometimes alpha taxonomy, is the science of describing, categorising and naming organisms, thus giving rise to taxa.","http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_taxonomy",,,,"TAXONOMY                    Taxonomy, sometimes alpha taxonomy, is the science of describing, categorising and naming organisms, thus giving rise to taxa.                    For a long time the term ""taxonomy"" was unambiguous, but over time the word ""taxonomy"" gained several other meanings and thus became confusing. To some extent it is being replaced, in its original (and narrow) meaning, by ""alpha taxonomy"".                    Traditionally there are seven major levels of taxonomy (though alpha taxonomy traditionally focuses more on the specific and infraspecific level): Kingdom, Phylum (for animals) or Division (for plants and fungi), Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.                    Another source of confusion is the relationship to systematics. The words ""taxonomy"" and ""systematics"" have a similar history and similar meanings: over time these have been used as synonyms, as overlapping or as completely complementary.                     a.. In today's usage, Taxonomy (as a science) deals with finding, describing and naming organisms. This science is supported by institutions holding collections of these organisms, with relevant data, carefully curated: such institutes include Natural History Museums, Herbaria and Botanical Gardens.           b.. Systematics (as a science) deals with the relationships between taxa, especially at the higher levels. These days systematics is greatly influenced by data derived from DNA from nuclei, mitochondria and chloroplasts. This is sometimes known as molecular systematics which is becoming increasingly more common, perhaps at the expense of traditional taxonomy (Wheeler, 2004).          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_taxonomy          ","Folksonomy","A folksonomy is a user generated taxonomy used to categorize and retrieve Web pages, photographs, Web links and other web content using open ended labels called tags. Typically, folksonomies are Internet-based, but their use may occur in other contexts as well. The process of folksonomic tagging is intended to make a body of information increasingly easier to search, discover, and navigate over time. A well-developed folksonomy is ideally accessible as a shared vocabulary that is both originated by, and familiar to, its primary users.
