I must agree with Leo. This isn’t a topic that responds to logic, but rather almost entirely to political pressure either from constituents (drive to get re-elected) or big money. - Steve Steven R.

Subject: Re: [ontolog-forum] Ontology for Gun Control I respect and appreciate you response. However law & policy and technology sometimes are like chicken and egg situation. Most of the technologies emerge, and Government has to make new law and polices to addressed all that with political lobbying as after thought. We have seen such scenarios in internet or Web related technologies all the time. Probably we can change that by showing proof of concept with sound thinking in these forums, with collaboration, probably government can lobby better using such concepts to create law and policy and address standards ahead of time to support emerging technology ??? Hold the thought for few days ... Unfortunately, I think we need to lobby Congress politically, with a whole lot of money. Persuasion is what is needed, not ontological representation. Good luck. I think we should develop Ontology for Gun Control policy. That would help our society to reduce violence. and put this forum for some good use. These are my ideas: (These are first cut at the requirements)! - We should have policy to support the following : - People should have background check, and obtain Gun operation permit to operate a Gun - People should have permit & registration to own a gun. - Gun owners should have insurance, in case of misuse to cover the victims and NRA should be partly responsible for it. - Gun Manufactures should have a Gun identification number inscribed to each GUN ( Like VIN for vehicles GIN for Guns). They can use smart chip to do so as well. - Government should create an agency or part of an agency to handle Gun ownerships similar to DMV, to maintain, registration info about Guns and owners, permits, background checks and insurance. For future Technology Solutions .. - Gun Manufactures should use smart chip to capture owners bio metrics and GUN Id and there should be private Key and Public key policy to operate the guns. So Smart Chip can verify the owners biometrics before letting the gun fire, ( private key stuff) and only law authority should have access to public keys to lock the guns in case of crime or illegal usage. - To do this you do not need a smart chip, Law Authorities can use mechanical remote locking like in cars, using public keys to stop the guns from firing.
- If we have smart chip capability, Law agencies should be provided with technological ability to trace the guns using smart chips and read the information off of it remotely and to help control gun usage to stop criminal activities ??
.. we can collaborate and refine such ideas for the ontology and help law makers ??
Pavithra Can someone point to an ontology (or ontologies) that cover(s) this topic area? |
