I like Sean Barker's ontology of ontolgies a lot, as I find it a useful lens to think of. It may be true that ontologies will always and ever be any set of assertions that calls itself an ontology, or that is made using an ontological language, or indeed, any formalism. Not all may agree with the classification of a particular effort using Sean's categories; not all wine tasters will not those "hints of black cherry and old shoe leather". Still, I think he has identified the main thrust of the larger ontological efforts, in a way that lets one say "What are we doing here, today?" tc On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 5:55 AM, Azamat <abdoul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: On Thursday, January 29, 2009 1:15 AM, Sean aked: -- ________________________________________ "When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us." -- Alexander Graham Bell ________________________________________ Toby Considine Chair, OASIS oBIX TC http://www.oasis-open.org Co-Chair, OASIS Technical Advisory Board Toby.Considine@xxxxxxxxx TC9, Inc Phone: (919)619-2104 blog: www.NewDaedalus.com _________________________________________________________________ Message Archives: http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontolog-forum/ Config Subscr: 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 join: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nid1J To Post: mailto:ontolog-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (01) |
