HNY to you John, and sincerely thank you for your insights this last
year.
The model you show below is from GreenChameleon.com ("started out in
May 2000 as a personal website of Patrick Lambe. ") I wonder since
when did a Taxonomy is-a Semantic Representation? Seems odd, for I
think a Semantic Representation has classes, properties and
individuals - a taxonomy is but an hierarchical group of
individuals, sans classes or properties. Interesting to me is
"Classification Scheme" though -- it would bve even more so if it
were to identify the <methods> used for classification,
without which this "concept map" is but an outline of someone's RDB
schema. IOW, if it aint got instructional information (<how
to> create a taxonomy) then it's not a particularly big wow. So
there's my thoughts on this "concept map".

Happy New Year to all,
I have been trying to find a taxonomy of languages. This arose
from a discussion on reddit in which a linguist argues that
"computer languages" are not languages, but are rather encodings.
The discussion continues by observing that languages are spoken,
are not created and that "there is no such thing as a logic based
language". He/she also opposes my view that computer languages are
used for speech acts.
I continued my investigation and found that Ogden's Basic English
is considered an IAL (International Auxiliary Language), a
language designed to facilitate communication between countries or
language groups. I was unsuccessful in finding a taxonomy of
languages that includes IAL's or a formal definition of what
constitutes a language.
What I did find is an interesting drawing from the thesis of PHILIP LEE
FISHER-OGDEN, B.S.
(University of California, San Diego) 2008. The thesis draws on
the W3C corpus of descriptions and bio's of experts within W3C
such that that content can be access via a DBLP (Digital
Bibliography and Library Project) search engine.

Two queries
-----------------
1. Do you know of a taxonomy of language types?
2. What are your thoughts on the concept map?
