Notational Standards for Ontology referential bases (Orbs)

 

 

One needs to be aware of what needs to be done next.

 

The core challenge is organize a small group each of whom has a dedication to a set of principles that are collaborative.

 

The difficulty of the work that has been done is simply beyond belief, and yet we have gotten to a place where there is something that can be offered to the “world” in a way unencumbered with the kinds of ownership issues that seems to ruin the consequences of the interface between those who work on software and those who seem to have an idea about what the semantic technology means – or potentially means. 

 

The young medical doctor from India suggests the benefits to average people

 

The work is not done alone, there are tens if not hundreds of individuals working on making the semantic technologies reasonable. 

 

Our thoughts go to Austin as a place that many know, and have loved, and a place that is, in a specific way, left out of the current ways of thinking.  We are seeking a way to draw this community together. 

 

The Orb standard would make a small difference in providing a workable ontological modeling capability within a structure that is consistent with natural science.  As I have discussed elsewhere.

 

Can there be a rebirth?  Where  can it occur.  New MexicoArizonaTexas?  Rappahannock county VA?

 

We need to find a complete team of wise individuals. 

 

A team of 1 – 5 software engineers could fulfill the design elements that are in the Roadmap.   The Orb-Application development environment is 4 – 6 weeks away from being available.   

 

There is an opportunity to start again with the development of a curriculum that introduces the basic theory and builds up the institutions that are needed to build the HIP applications. 

 

Readware and VisualText have been highly supportive, and we have worked though a great deal together.   The CEO’s of the ten companies who have joined with OntologyStream Inc in advancing the BCNGroup Roadmap have also been supportive. 

 

Perhaps with a group of programmers in India, or perhaps with a group in Austin we will be able to build out the Orb-Application Development Environment within 4 – 6 weeks.  We have a total budget of $12,000.
