Hello all,
Long time lurker, first time poster, just a couple of thoughts re the discussions thus far. First, @John I really enjoy your site and the papers you have posted. Thanks for making it all available online. @Pat, I love the resource provided w/ the IKL guide (it clarified several issues I have with CL too) and have a few questions about it that i'll ask later. -- Regarding the question at hand: I have some questions / observations about the connection between FOL, the axioms one writes and the resultant models one develops using inference rules. Correct me if i'm wrong, but this is what I believe was termed as the 1 stage method; in contrast to what I gather John has been proposing as a two-stage method. My question is thus (having an interest in (semi)-automated empirical ontology validation): Given that any model constructed from FOL ostensibly represents reality, is not the one-stage method in effect a two-stage method? The main difference is that we have humans implicitly conducting the final stage (of seeing whether a particular model _corresponds to_ reality)? Would not making explicit how models correlate to 'gestured' entities in some relevant 'reality' be what John is suggesting? Am I missing something? Thank you kindly, Ali -- (•`'·.¸(`'·.¸(•)¸.·'´)¸.·'´•) .,., _________________________________________________________________ Message Archives: http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontolog-forum/ Subscribe/Config: http://ontolog.cim3.net/mailman/listinfo/ontolog-forum/ Unsubscribe: mailto:ontolog-forum-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Shared Files: http://ontolog.cim3.net/file/ Community Wiki: http://ontolog.cim3.net/wiki/ To Post: mailto:ontolog-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (01) |
