Back to the roots, Relational Data Model

Important design and implementation principle arising from studying relational data model theory

Are our old data model standards out of shape ?

Both Topic Maps and RDF/OWL exhibit signs of aging. These signs do not indicate maturity levels but on the contrary they signal a re-examination of the data modeling, information representation problem

The three dimensions of AI and a fourth one as the key to unlock them

Although there has been significant progress with first and second generation AI systems in reasoning, learning and perceiving, abstraction has not been part of the game. The mechanism of abstraction can unify these other three processes

Know-How is How you Know

Table of Contents Introduction The Problem About Knowledge The Know-How is how you know The “I know something or someone” phrase The “I know this is true” phrase Epilogue Cross-References Introduction Perhaps there is not a better phrase to start this post than the Socratic paradox, All I know is that I know nothing This is typical of the great gap that exists between Eastern and Western way of thinking about fundamental concepts such as information, knowledge and wisdom.
