Sorry Micru, I read your document, but I can't see a relation beetween ethanol,
negenthropy, and Wikidata's survival :)
2014-10-05 22:48 GMT+02:00 David Cuenca <dacuetu(a)gmail.com>om>:
Hi Eric,
The idea is to separate in those edge cases the perceptual model (what
is
recognized) from the name given to it. As such you can consider "ethanol"
and "chemical compound" metaclasses (names) pointing to a label-less
class that represents the model.
In practical terms what it would entail is:
- remove the labels from Q153
- create one item for the label "ethanol" and one item for the label
"chemical compound"
- link Q153 with those names using "has name"
- "ethanol" is no longer an instance, but a class that can take
different names, "ethanol" being more specific
Do you realize that after this "scrap everything and start again from
the beginning" the resulting structure is more comprehensive and
encompasses previous efforts? "Entity" stays as it is, but now it can
be examined by its qualities and they can be taken apart if needed. The term
"cognizable"
is 1:1 compatible with the subclass/instance model, but it emphasizes
the necessity of having an observer for it to be meaningful. Classes
do not exist in isolation, it is in fact very naive to keep the notion
of objectivity when dealing with observation. Even logic needs a
system to be executed, and based on which reality models? How were
they produced? And how are those models and the models based on them
verified? The problem with logicians is that they think themselves
isolated from the world, however even they were born from a womb.
And have you seen who introduced the term "negentropy"? If you check
the names behind it you will see that those ideas are in fact standing
on the shoulders of giants. It is hard to model life without
understanding first that life itself is survival-oriented.
Those papers are interesting but fail to address basic questions like:
who decides identity? How does the observer interact with it? Where
does information come from? And without tackling those questions, and
by extension, emergent processes, logic seems like a deux ex machina
that appears from nothingness and acts in nothingness.
Best,
Micru

Hi David,
How does your treatise relate to the fact that
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q153 has statements that entail the
following? [1]
ethanol
*instance of* chemical compound
*subclass of* chemical compound
How would it resolve that specific problem?
Such statements make Wikidata incompatible with ChEBI and other major
ontologies, like Gene Ontology and Disease Ontology, which use
*instance
of* (i.e. rdf:type, P31) and *subclass of* (i.e. rdfs:subClassOf,
P279,
is_a) as recommended in the Relation Ontology (RO) [2] and the Basic
Formal Ontology (BFO).
For Wikidata to be interoperable with other major ontologies in the
Semantic Web, we cannot "scrap everything and start again from the
beginning". We must stand on the shoulders of giants. Doing away
with "entity" [3] as a the top of the *subclass of* hierarchy and
introducing a raft of idiosyncratic ontological constructs like
"identifiables", "cognizables", "negentropy" and
"system
survival-oriented direction" to Wikidata is probably not the way to go.
Regarding your concerns about the ability of existing approaches to
represent emergent properties and natural language, I recommend
perusing [4], an influential paper that informs DOLCE and BFO --
particularly the section on "The Role of Identity Criteria". I also
highly recommend lectures 3 and 1 in
http://ontology.buffalo.edu/smith/IntroOntology_Course.html for
gaining a perspective on how BFO maintainers think about things like
distinguishing objects and representations, and that upper ontology's
philosophical roots. Given your interest in phenomenology and
Husserl, you may also be interested in what BFO maintainers have written on those
subjects in e.g.
[5] with regard to ontology.
Best,
Eric
[1]
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q153 currently states "ethanol
*subclass
of* alcohol", but given "alcohol *subclass of* organic compound" and
"organic compound *subclass of* chemical compound", it is entailed
that "ethanol *subclass of* chemical compound".

I thought folks might like to know that every human gene (according to the United States
National Center for Biotechnology Information) now has a representative entity on
wikidata. I hope that these are the seeds for some amazing applications in biology and
medicine.
Well done Andra and ProteinBoxBot !
For example:
Here is one (of approximately 40,000) called "spinocerebellar ataxia 37"

Yes we plan to keep the data fresh. We are currently looking into optimising the current
bot to increase the throughput and also in ways to automate the update process.

Yes indeed we do. Andra is working on a scheduler for the update bot now.
(And thanks to the tips about wbeditentity function it should go faster
now...)
We have a grant to expand the scope of the original gene wiki project (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Wiki) to a) use wikidata as its structural foundation
and b) expand into other areas such as genes and diseases.
Looking forward to continuing to work with the community to make wikidata a key hub of
open biological and medical information on the Web.

Would you be willing to write a blog post about what you did, your plans for the future

ran a few lately and your project sounds like it should get a bit ore exposure ;-)
