Uncovering Laws of Information Universe: Reflections on Semantic Web Progress

Join the philosophical discourse on scientific knowledge about the information universe, exploring the impact of a decade of Semantic Web advancements on discovering Computing Science laws. Delve into the interplay between factual and terminological knowledge, hierarchy structures, heterogeneity challenges, and the societal implications of knowledge publication and computation. Reflect on the evolution of information processing and the emergence of new theories in the realm of data interpretation and dissemination. This talk is a call to arms for embracing the complexities of information science and reimagining the future of knowledge management.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Health Warning: This is going to be a pretentious talk

  2. Philosophical confessioncoming up: What I believe about scientific knowledge

  3. Laws about the information universe, just like laws about the physical universe

  4. alchemy

  5. Did a decade of Semantic Web work help to discover any Computing Science laws?

  6. What have we built?

  7. Let’s treat the last 10 years as a giant experiment

  8. Some well known “laws” about information do indeed apply

  9. USE RE-USE USE U = 1-R

  10. Factual knowledge is a graph

  11. Terminological knowledge is a hierarchy

  12. Terminological knowledge is much smaller than the factual knowledge

  13. Terminological knowledge is of low complexity

  14. heterogeneity is unavoidable

  15. heterogeneity is solvable socially, culturally, economically (and a little bit algorithmically)

  16. publication should be distributed, computation should be centralised

  17. speed increases with parallelisation

  18. in 2011 in 2010

  19. knowledge about knowledge

  20. Finally: a call to arms

  21. Theory? What theory?

  22. Big thank you to: MyriaNikolaidou & Paul Groth Annette ten Teije Stefan Schlobach Christophe Gueret EmanueleDella Valle and all at the SemWeb@VUA group
