110909 - homeland security. ref SDS 6 LU5N

110920 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Pat with copies to Jack, Gary, and to
110921 - Morris, saying...
110922 -
110923 -    1.  Just came across reporting in IT Conversations on a
110924 -        professional event for "Accelerating Change 2005", ref OF 1
110925 -        0001, and where you commented in part "...that the primary
110926 -        purpose of AI is to augment intelligence." ref OF 1 BS79,

110930 -    2.  Doug would be thrilled seeing this paradigm continue to hold
110931 -        sway at SRI, extending the Vannevar Bush work in 1945 cited in
110932 -        SRI's 1962 proposal, reviewed on 991222. ref SDS 2 XS6N,
110933 -        ref DIT 1 QR6J
110935 -         ..
110936 -    3.  Did Doug attend the event, or have an opportunity to support
110937 -        your presentation? ref DIT 1 QR7H
110939 -         ..
110940 -    4.  Reporting on Neil Jacobstein proposing at the same event that
110941 -        "...neurosciences, large scale ontologies and the semantic
110942 -        web..." ref OF 1 BS64 promise progress toward useful
110943 -        application of computer power and memory sounds a lot like Jack
110944 -        Park's vision manifested in recent years working on Iris and
110945 -        CALO. ref DIT 1 QR7L

110957 -            In the Semantic Web machines can process, transform,
110958 -            assemble, and even act on data in useful ways.
110960 -             ..
110961 -            An example is provided using the semantic web to book a
110962 -            flight, make seat selection, charges credit card for
110963 -            payment, adjusts the schedule, orders a car rental, and
110964 -            makes room reservations.
110966 -             ..
110967 -            Semantic web can aid everything from crime investigation,
110968 -            scientific research, and literary analysis - to shopping,
110969 -            finding long-lost friends, and vacation planning - when
110970 -            computers can find, present, and act on data in a
110971 -            meaningful way.
110973 -  ..
110974 - There is a distinction between shopping, finding friends, and making
110975 - reservations dealing with fixed data bases on the one hand.  However,
110976 - crime investigation, scientific research and literary analysis seem
110977 - like much different tasks to discover correlations, implications, and
110978 - nuance that are hidden.
110980 -  ..
110981 - More importantly, "intelligence" per se processes not "fixed" data
110982 - bases but the evolving record of life.

110988 -            Metadata in Documents Enables Semantic Web Processing
110989 -
110990 -            Implementing the Semantic Web requires adding semantic
110991 -            metadata, or data that describes data, to information
110992 -            resources.  This will allow machines to effectively process
110993 -            the data based on the semantic information that describes
110994 -            it.  When there is enough semantic information associated
110995 -            with data, computers can make inferences about the data,
110996 -            i.e., understand what a data resource is and how it relates
110997 -            to other data

111002 -            XML Ontology Schema Hierarchial Taxonomy with WOL
111003 -            Web Ontology Language WOL Applies XML Build Relationships
111004 -            Ontology Applies Taxonomy Schema XML Metadata Relationships
111005 -            Metadata Ontology Applies Taxonomy Schema XML Relationships
111006 -
111007 -            OWL is a third W3C specification for creating Semantic Web
111008 -            applications. Building upon RDF and RDFS, OWL defines the
111009 -            types of relationships that can be expressed in RDF using
111010 -            an XML vocabulary to indicate the hierarchies and
111011 -            relationships between different resources.
111012 -
111014 -             ..
111015 -            Ontology Definition Schema Hierarchies Relationships
111016 -
111017 -            In fact, this is the very definition of "ontology" in the
111018 -            context of the Semantic Web: a schema that formally defines
111019 -            the hierarchies and relationships between different
111020 -            resources.  Semantic Web ontologies consist of a taxonomy
111021 -            and a set of inference rules from which machines can make
111022 -            logical conclusions.
111024 -             ..
111025 -            A taxonomy in this context is system of classification,
111026 -            such as the scientific kingdom/phylum/class/order/etc.
111027 -            system for classifying plants and animals that groups
111028 -            resources into classes and sub-classes based on their
111029 -            relationships and shared properties.
111031 -             ..
111032 -            Since taxonomies (systems of classification) express the
111033 -            hierarchical relationships that exist between resources, we
111034 -            can use OWL to assign properties to classes of resources
111035 -            and allow their subclasses to inherit the same properties.
111036 -            OWL also utilizes the XML Schema datatypes and supports
111037 -            class axioms such as subClassOf, disjointWith, etc., and
111038 -            class descriptions such as unionOf, intersectionOf, etc.
111039 -            Many other advanced concepts are included in OWL, making it
111040 -            the richest standard ontology description language
111041 -            available today.
111043 -  ..
111044 - On 070126 case study seems to show people have given up on creating
111045 - and adding metadata to documents, ref SDS 10 OU7K, citing reports by
111046 - Sergey Brin at Google on 021031. ref SDS 7 VX4J
111048 -  ..
111049 - Jack discussed ontology in his letter on 070913 that proposed topic
111050 - maps and or spaces. ref SDS 11 9T6P  Earlier on 000221 Jack submitted
111051 - background on ontology, taxonomy, and epistomology. ref SDS 3 2622
111053 -  ..
111054 - Who is constructing ontology taxonomy schemas?
111056 -  ..
111057 - What is the taxonomy for this record.  What is the metadata and how is
111058 - it applied to make sense of this one simple record?
111060 -  ..
111061 - Who is constructing "metadata" and what procedures and tools will
111062 - perform the work?  Who pays for creating metadata.?  How much time
111063 - does creating metadata take?

160407 -    5.  Likewise, I think Jack would concur with Jacobstein noting
160408 -        "There still remains a need, however, for a systematic approach
160409 -        to the cultural and organizational problems involved in the
160410 -        co-evolution of machines and humans." ref OF 1 IP7M  Vannevar
160411 -        Bush proposed in 1945 a new professional role using computers
160412 -        for blazing "trails of associations" in the vast record of
160413 -        daily work that augments everyone's intelligence. ref SDS 1
160414 -        364J, ref DIT 1 QR8I

160417 -    6.  New tools and roles enable a new way of working that yields
160418 -        "scalability of knowledge," which you presented on 010517.

160431 -    7.  You might guess I was drawn to Peter Norvig's remarks that
160432 -        literacy remains our strongest tool for augmenting
160433 -        intelligence.  Did Norvig cite Doug Lenat, a long proponent of
160434 -        AI, saying the alphabet makes people "superhuman," reviewed on
160435 -        010622. ref SDS 5 N668, ref DIT 1 QR9Q
160437 -         ..
160438 -    8.  Norvig and Lenat help light the path for lifting civilization
160439 -        using computer power to improve alphabet technology with
160440 -        expanded grammar and extended dimensionality.  You might
160441 -        consider for a future seminar introducing intelligence support
160442 -        by integrating "complementarity" with the "locality principle"
160443 -        to define the power of knowledge that controls the future,
160444 -        explained in NWO. ref OF 15 Q07K, ref DIT 1 QR4P
160446 -         ..
160447 -    9.  Again, great work presenting opportunities for intelligence
160448 -        support.  Professional events and papers spread the word that
160449 -        helps busy people learn a powerful new way of working.
