Hi Helmut, List,
I had missed that reference and update. Thank you! I have
corrected the notes to the table, but have retained his earlier
names because they are more commonly referenced and it retains the
idea of 'representation', more allied with the idea of knowledge
representation, which is my particular focus. You probably
also saw that at the end of CP 4.3 Peirce also stated that "How
the conceptions are named makes, however, little difference."
Thanks again, Helmut.

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.

Bergman’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:
