What’s the Problem?
•Ontology
 •Theory of Being
 •“What is?”
 •Aristotelian origins
•Ontologies
 •Ontology-as-category
 •Overspecified and Decontexualized
 •Not delivering semantic interoperability
Even the experts...
  . . . we found that we as representatives for different semantic
  technologies were talking different languages. We were
  explaining our technologies with different terms to mean the
  same thing and the same term to mean different things, and
  our models for addressing the issue of semantic
  interoperability were so different it was hard to get our
  message across to people who already identified deeply with
  their own way of thinking. We were supposed to be experts
  on semantic technologies, but we experienced a complete
  breakdown of semantic interoperability among ourselves.

Experts’ solution...
Experts’ solution...


“...semantics must
be made explicit,
systematic, formal
and standardized.”
Experts’ solution...

•More structure
•More syntactic rules
•More logical formalisms
•More standards for
 exchange
•Less diversity
•Single ontology
So what?

•Lexical isn’t ontological
•Language isn’t thought
•Syntax isn’t semantics
•Communication isn’t overly
 structured
•Complexity isn’t diversity
•Reality isn’t objective

  • 1. The Ontology of Tags PhD Dissertation Research Proposal David J. Saab 2008.06.12 Committee Members: Frederico Fonseca, Chair Andrea Tapia Michael McNeese Richard Doyle
  • 2. Today... •What’s the Problem? •What’s the Solution? •What are the research contributions? •Core Concepts •Interrelationships •Integration •What the research context and methods? •What can we do better?
  • 3.
  • 4. What’s the Problem? •Ontology •Theory of Being •“What is?” •Aristotelian origins •Ontologies •Ontology-as-category •Overspecified and Decontexualized •Not delivering semantic interoperability
  • 5.
  • 6. Even the experts... . . . we found that we as representatives for different semantic technologies were talking different languages. We were explaining our technologies with different terms to mean the same thing and the same term to mean different things, and our models for addressing the issue of semantic interoperability were so different it was hard to get our message across to people who already identified deeply with their own way of thinking. We were supposed to be experts on semantic technologies, but we experienced a complete breakdown of semantic interoperability among ourselves. -SIM Report, A Comparative Study of Semantic Technologies, 2007
  • 7.
  • 9. Experts’ solution... “...semantics must be made explicit, systematic, formal and standardized.”
  • 10. Experts’ solution... •More structure •More syntactic rules •More logical formalisms •More standards for exchange •Less diversity •Single ontology
  • 11.
  • 12. So what? •Lexical isn’t ontological •Language isn’t thought •Syntax isn’t semantics •Communication isn’t overly structured •Complexity isn’t diversity •Reality isn’t objective
