I would be very interested in Wikidatas Relation to Cyc on one hand and the semantic Web on the other. Jan Am Fr., 23. Juli 2021 um 01:57 Uhr schrieb Denny Vrandečić < dvrande...@wikimedia.org>: > Hi Thad, > > Thanks for asking the questions, and thanks Tobi

Just to clarify, “Wikidata The Movie” was (once upon a time) a standing joke at the original team, with wild guesses on who would play the different characters. But now, off to thinking Deep Thoughts. On Sat, Jul 24, 2021 at 11:54 PM John Erling Blad wrote: > > A Wikidata book would be most

Hi Thad, Thanks for asking the questions, and thanks Tobi for the pointers. Man, what a lengthy post it was. I understand that the post answered most of your questions. I think that it is entirely possible to layer a prototype semantics over Wikidata, just as the DL semantics have been layered
