Hi Steve, (01)
I think we know HOW to map and link ontologies. (02)
I think we don't know WHEN to map and link things,
for the same reason we don't know the meaning of
a simple phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph,
or story. (03)
We cannot remove the human-in-the-loop until we
can measure the similarity between two phrases
in a given context. (04)
I don't think creators of ontologies will make
any decisive advances in this direction in the
next few years. Progress must come from elsewhere. (05)
