I've been looking for more info on Peirce relations since you mentioned them to me in Paris, but I haven't found much. This is a good one I've found so far: http://www.angelfire.com/md2/timewarp/peirce.html I like: """According to Peirce, ‘meaning’ is a triadic relation between a sign, an object, and an interpretant. This triadic relation is not reducible to a set of dyadic relations between a sign and an object or between an object and an interpretant (CP 1.345). Meaning is never reducible to Firstness or Secondness, but can only be a ‘genuine’ Thirdness. A general meaning can always be found in ‘genuine’ triadic relations, but can never be found in ‘degenerate’ triadic relations which have lost their Thirdness.""" Word. But it sounds to me from the description that follows that RDF is a triadic relation, but I'm no semiotic phenomenologist. Do you know of more references on this subject? Another thought, can a Peirce relation be meta-encoded in RDF? -Michel _______________________________________________ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
