Paola, Rex, Leo, and Peter,
I recognize with gratitude your sincere
congratulations. Below is a passage taken from the book's
acknowledgements:
''Much gratitude is due to all the active members of the
on-line Internet fora: ?Standard Upper Ontology Working Group?; ?The Ontology
and Taxonomy Coordinating WG?, ONTAC; the Semantic Web Interest Group of the
World Wide Web Consortium, and Ontolog Forum, a Virtual Community of Practice on
Ontology, Ontological Engineering and Semantic Technology, for the inspiring
on-line debates of the crucial topics of ontology, meaning, knowledge
representation, semantic web, and intellectual
technologies.''
As for the brief, Rex, i do my best to make it latter, when renew
myself after the 5-years exhaustion. Not breaching the agreement, i
can now share only the abstract:
ABSTRACT
The book is basically about reality, its content, structure and
dynamics, and how the real world may be effectively represented both by human
minds and intelligent machines. The world is analyzed as the largest unbounded
environment (entity) by the agency of ontological representations and
mathematical descriptions of its cardinal entities and relationships. This
approach affords to develop the emerging Knowledge Society intellectual
technology as the real world knowledge systems and applications capable to
represent and reason about reality, its diverse aspects and levels and nonlinear
complexities. The whole research is performed with the basic goal to design a
standard world model capable to uniformly organize human knowledge, to create
powerful reasoning systems and to secure communication interoperability between
two species of intelligences, existing human beings and nascent computing
reasoning systems promising the profound revolution in human values and ways of
life.
Developing a consistent account of the world as the unique
intersection of general ontology and fundamental mathematics, designated as a
unified framework ontology or universal formal ontology (UFO), we establish a
line of research following the world life cycle where reality occupies a
determinative position:
Reality
® World
Representation {Theory of Reality (UFO) ®
Fundamental Mathematics (Lattice Theory, Set Theory, Category Theory)
® Logic of
Things ® Science
® Computer
Science} ® Knowledge
Application {AI Technology ®
Onto-Semantic Web ®
Global Intelligent Cyberspace }
® Knowledge
Technology Civilization ®
Intelligent World (Reality, Universe)
Reality, being, the world, or the universe along with its first-class
denizens (objects, states, changes, relations) are the kinds of things to be
represented as the principal concepts of mind, the major categories of language,
the underlying data structures and processes in information systems. The UFO is
designed as the world knowledge groundwork or unifying semantic platform within
which could be integrated the particular knowledge (sciences) of the physical,
biological, mental, and cultural worlds, to be encoded as the entity data types
and major rules of operations in the reasoning systems of high-level
intelligence, fundamental to the Intelligent World.
Best wishes and kind regards
Azamat

Congratulations, Azamat,
Thanks for the heads-up, Paola,
I look forward to the brief, and, eventually, reading the book.
Cheers,
Rex
Azamat!
On behalf of the
ontology community, congratulations for the publication of your
book
Having read the
drafts, I anticipate this is a fundamental piece of
work,
not likely to be
immediately universally understood perhaps.
I think producing a brief digest will not be
an easy task, given weight of the content
I volunteer to help
you produce a summary to be made available as open content, compatibly with
your 'first copyright' of the publisher and anticipate working on it
for a long time aheadacross a variety of fields.
And I look
forward to Ontolog community inviting you to give a talk on
this!
Best
Paola Di
Maio
