Hi List, The knowledge artifact used by Cognonto is KBpedia [1]. It's upper ontology (KKO) [2] is based on our interpretation of Peirce's universal categories (not EGs, which I have not studied, nor strictly on Peirce's sign classifications, either). The approach to this interpretation of Peirce is described in this article [3]. My listing of articles on Peirce related to the semantic Web and knowledge representation may be found here [4].
In many ways this is a provisional use of Peirce's categories. I welcome any commentary for improvement, and would gladly revise KKO wherever I have mistakenly misinterpreted Peirce's insights or intent. Best, Mike [1] http://kbpedia.com [2] http://kbpedia.com/docs/kko-upper-structure/ [3]http://www.mkbergman.com/2077/how-i-interpret-c-s-peirce/ [4]http://www.mkbergman.com/category/c-s-peirce/ On November 23, 2017 2:11:08 PM CST, John F Sowa <[email protected]> wrote: >Dan, Terry, and list, > >Dan >> >http://www.dataversity.net/cognonto-takes-knowledge-based-artificial-intelligence/ >> Interesting claim for application of Peircean ideas in the tech >industry. > >Thanks for the pointer.
