Sample Contexts
Each link below will direct this site to load your user
session with an available file of XML metadata depicting as
a semantic net one of these sample contexts:
.
-
XML Tools
- a lexicon for modeling XML software applications
-
XTM Standards
- the concepts defining this interchange file format
-
Bond Ratings
- a vocabulary for analyzing corporate bond investments
-
Topic Map World
- the vendors, documents, tools, etc. (slightly outdated)
-
BioPAX "pathway"
- several examples in RDF, under its OWL ontology
-
Italian Operas
- lexicon of their characters, settings, etc. (slower to load)
Each context file holds a directed graph of associated topic models,
coherently selected and interlinked to represent word meanings that
relate to some well-bounded semantic domain. The graph reflects
worldviews of its author(s), formally cast into XTM, RDF, or another formal
notation of the semantic web.
Every topic in the graph depicts ONE subject in the domain - some
real or imagined thing it digitally represents. That topic's type
declares constraints on changing this topic model, and its assigned names
designate words for which the topic-subject pair can serve as a meaning.
Each two-part meaning model may be further enriched by various types of
associations asserting how its subject relates to other things
modeled similarly in the same context. Each association organizes a few
topics into a group. It may be found from each topic participating, and
vice versa.
There are several good use cases
for this kind of web-ized formal graph, some of which you may find
just as compelling as I do. I think it will help move forward the
semantic web, and help interrelate standards that too often get seen as disjoint.
Want to Try It Out?
I'm looking for feedback on the WORDS MODELER, and for organizations willing
to actively beta test this application on their own problem domain(s).
Your first step is merely to try out the online version, by using one or
more of the sample contexts cited above, then let me know what you think of it.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to do this.
If what you see appeals, step two would be to email me an XTM or RDF file of your
own, so we can both see how it looks when I import it in its existing form.
Using that on-line prop, we can then talk more intelligently about the specific
use cases and follow-on steps which it might make sense for us to jointly pursue.
Thanks in advance for considering this.
