We remind everyone as often as possible that the
restrictions on communication between ontology (and related fields) experts
must be over come. As this is over come, the linkage between those who
have figured out specific concepts will ignite the Semantic Web (in a way
predicted).
We point to an emerging theme that occurred this week in some of a harvesting of social discourse. This theme is that democracy is more than holding elections, unlike Russian Putin’s notion of a Civil Society that must support the will of the government, there must be, in a democracy, a control of government by an active Civil Society.
In the knowledge sciences case, we as suggesting that American business consulting practices, particularly in IT procurement, repress the Civil Society “common law” regarding ethical good faith standards for doing the best job possible evaluating and then deploying ontology technology.
Nikita Ogievetsky and I have agreed to start a detailed conversation about how the markets and the scientists are beginning to collaborate in the development of possible ontology deployments for DHS and for the Civil Society
The set of issues related to business processes inhibition of scientific and expert discussion is given, again, at:
NO one is comfortable about talking about this system’s problems, certainly we would prefer to spend our time in a world without these problems !! But, like the War in Iraq, we have this IT consulting inhibition of the knowledge sciences problem and we must address it with democratic Civil Society action, including legal actions when deemed necessary.
The issues present serious ethic issues for many of the large consulting entities that are not acting in good faith as they receive very large funding streams from DHS. The fact that the government supports a Waste Fraud and Abuse condition means that no citizen has resource to legal remedies.
The community of knowledge scientists (most of who are unpaid and not empowered to participate in design and deployment) now does have a true opportunity.
Moving the discussion to Groove spaces is one way to deal with the restrictions on communication.
Specifically, this weekend, we are looking at the unification of an distributed ontology management capability where Topic Maps and RDF are constrained by constraint languages (when appropriate), topic maps act as ontology building interface (for non-computer scientists) and for visualization of deployed OWL ontology.
Nikita Ogievetsky will lead this discussion.
