Pieter, (01)
Re. a trans-disciplinary forum. To be successful, I suggest you to organize
a meta-conference on the larger topic: Computational Philosophy, Science and
Technology. It will be sure marked by a favorable outcome, and many from
these good fora will be there, i believe. Just see the subject on the recent
TED Global 2009 at Oxford, The Substance of Things Not Seen.

Mostly about relationships, as if they were intangible things. Nevertheless,
a very successful meeting, as Paola says, with the Gordon Brown's keynote,
also doing his best to see the unseen resources. (03)

AA: It is a timely and topical move. Narrow workshops are hardly of real use
today, if only somebody pursues some small pragmatic aims. Now the time of
meta-conferences of transdisciplinarity. Two weeks ago, I keynoted on such a
trans-conference with a rather general topic: (014)
Philosophy, Science, Arts and Technology: Grand Unification, Standard
Ontology, and Wisdom Web. (015)
There were a lot of scholars from all parts of the world, showing great
interest to what happening in other knowledge fields. (016)

AA: Certainly. It extends by the new mega-fields as computational
philosophy, computational science and technology, where computing is
becoming a core part. Seemingly, out-of-the-blue-sky for many researchers, a
whole new meta-field of philosophy, science and technology is emerging as
computational philosophy, tightly married with computing, where the
scientists, programmers and developers have been building and coding world
systems as machine-readable domain models. (019)
Such world models are developed as ontologies, metaphilosophy, metamodels,
vocabularies, hierarchies, taxonomies, unified modeling languages, abstract
data models, semantic schemas, or metatheories (as in software engineering
and systems engineering). (020)
