Hi Dan,
Certainly a useful concept to have name(s) for, ... but I think not
quite what is needed to link these specific datasets. The W3C wordnet
data is a collection of descriptions of linguistic concepts. The
OpenCyc things they're linked to are not linguistic entities, but the
real world things the words are associated with. So they're not
near-identical similar objects, but things that are generally from
disjoint classes. Paris the place, vs "Paris" the word (or the set of
synonymous words _for_ Paris...). I think this is a distinction worth
keeping reasonably explicit.
Sorry, I probably haven't been clear with my email (at least, Mike told
me I was not ;))
I *was not suggesting* to use it, but probably more a subpropertyof
seeAlso (even though, this is probably not the right one as a super
property).
Ah, I probably read too fast, sorry!
Yes, declaring something a specialization of rdfs:seeAlso can be a nice
hint. But if you take http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData very
seriously, pretty much all URIs are fair game for dereferencing. In
which case it becomes a bit unclear when it is worth throwing
rdfs:seeAlso into the mix...
cheers,
Dan
