Mike, List,
I especially like your table "C.S. Peirce’s Universal Categories in Relation to Various Topics". Just one thing: Peirce later replaced "quality, relation, representation", as which he had named the categories in "On a new list of categories" with "quality, reaction, mediation" (I donot oversee Peirces work at all, so I dont know if he later replaced it back or again...): CP 4.3., looked up at the Commens Dictionary under the catchword "categories":
"I then named them Quality, Relation, and Representation. But I was not then aware that undecomposable relations may necessarily require more subjects than two; for this reason Reaction is a better term. Moreover, I did not then know enough about language to see that to attempt to make the word representation serve for an idea so much more general than any it habitually carried, was injudicious. The word mediation would be better. Quality, reaction, and mediation will do."
Best,
Helmut
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

Interesting claim for application of Peircean ideas in the tech industry.
Thanks for the pointer. I'm happy to see more interest and applications
of Peirce's logic and ontology.
TerryBergman’s work is pretty closely related to yours, isn’t it, John Sowa?
I googled +"Peirce" +"Michael Bergman" and found some interesting
web pages. I would say that there are overlaps. I found references
to his "knowledge graphs", but I couldn't find a clear specification
of how they may be related to Peirce's EGs.
Bergman and his company have assembled a very large ontology
by combining the already large OpenCyc with several other large
resources. That is indeed an impressive contribution, but I
couldn't see how they used Peirce's semiotic to develop it.
However, I did not follow up all the search paths. If anybody can
find more about those questions, it would be interesting to see how
he uses Peirce's EGs for the logic and categories for the ontology.
For the record, the following article shows how I relate EGs to
conceptual graphs (CGs) and other graphs and graph-like notations:
