While opening, we see the following types of Resource, seemingly Entity
or Thing:
Resource (Person, Ethnic group, Organization, Infrastructure, Planet,
Work, Event, Means of Transportation, Anatomic structure, Olympic
record, Language, Chemical compound, Species, Weapon, Protein, Disease,
Supreme Court of the US, Grape, Website, Music Genre, Currency,
Beverage, Place).
I am of opinion to support the developers even when they misdirect. But
this 'classification' meant to be used for 'wikipedia's
infobox-to-ontology mappings' is a complete disorder, having a chance
for the URL http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Mess.
Ontology is designed to put all things in their natural places, not to
make mess of the real world; if you deal with chemical compound and
protein, it requests an arrangement like as protein < macromolecule <
organic compound < chemical compound < matter, substance < physical
entity < entity. The same with other things, however hard, rocky and
trying it may be.
This test and trial proves again that any web ontology language
projects, programming applications or semantic systems, are foredoomed
without fundamental ontological schema.
Is Wikipedia foredoomed also?
