Susan! No way, I find this very interesting! I would love to know if any such research has been/is being done as well. A great deal of providing access to...
Seth, I like this defintion quite a lot. I think the key term, for me, is relationships and the richness of relationships present in ontologies. But, the idea...
I'm running a bit behind on the email, so someone else may of highlighted this. I like Seth's point (re: to educating vendors and business users) that an...
There is another side to ontologies which I am not sure has been discussed on this list yet. This is the more formal side that is going to be important for the...
I have been following the OWL standard over the last year or two. I downloaded Protoge to teach myself more about it. However, I am still very much a novice...
That is exactly correct – the relationships can describe any term in any context (even disambiguating terms). The challenge of ontologies as you mention in...
Hi Kelly, Yes, of course disambiguation is always a problem ... with anything! But the powerful modeling in OWL should help with this. As always, the hierarchy...
Hi All, Once again I am impressed at the quality of discussion and calibre of contribution of this group... I'm going to try this one because I feel that I...
I agree that the waters get muddy, but is it bad to have ALL the information? The problem is selecting the relevant information. What is important for one task...
Actually, I think it is bad to have all the information. As you say, we just want the relevant information. Of course context and relevance is what it's all...
I think you've hit the nail on the head James. Comprehensibility is a mark of a good taxonomy... it's supposed to help a range of users navigate a knowledge...
Hi Stephanie, Hello Stephanie, We are new users of Livelink. We are in the process of creating a taxonomy/thesaurus but it will probably be at least a year ...
Thanks for your comment... I only wish the company for which I'm working was open to purchasing new modules. Unfortunately we have to make do without either of...
Hi all, Interesting discussion last month on how vendors abuse domain terminology... if you missed it, read the summary/compilation on the wiki! Vendors and...
Great work Stephanie! I really like the way you are capturing and summarizing these key discussions. You should mention to the group how the wiki is being...
Looks like the wiki is a big hit in the blogosphere... I checked the stats in the TaxoCoP wiki and noticed a big spike at the end of April... turns out that we...
I've been getting calls from other companies about what we're doing - all because it's on the Wiki! So thanks Stephanie for doing a great job! It'll be great...
I think conversation and attention is good, however the challenge is whether it even makes sense to argue with people who are, shall we say, enthusiastic but...
I saw the same comment and thought, geez, reality check needed. Can you imagine how quickly I'd be walked out the door if someone did the equivalent of the...
You missed Maish Nichani's post... http://www.elearningpost.com/blog/the_value_of_social_tagging_in_a_corporate_setting/ This experiment in "gardening" is...
... All those web 2.0 systems have one problem in common: increasing complexity. In the beginning you can easily handle just a few tags, but when systems ...
Agreeing with you and Seth, I think the main issue behind all of this is really context - in this case the corporate context. It's one thing for users to use...
Hi gang. Here's info on a Designing and Building Ontologies workshop that's coming up in Boston and Chicago. It's a hardcore four day affair for those...
There is still time to register for the following event. Please pardon any duplication as this has been widely cross-posted. ... Jody Perkins Metadata...
Any community members using the Google appliance? Thoughts? Experiences? I understood that it was mostly a black box but that Google was going to allow for...
By a quick show of hands, how many are planning on meeting in NY at the Summit? (I mistakenly posted this as taking place on the 23rd. The correct date is ...
Actually, there are many tweakable settings. Not as many as some people might like, but they do exist. I'll go through many of them in the May TaxoCop...
We looked at the Google appliance briefly about 2 years ago. We were able to "borrow" a box for about 2 months. In our very fast evaluation, it seemed perfect...
