The Second School of Semantic Science
ontologyMapping Glass Bead Games
Research note,
I developed two papers in 1999 to help me remember some
work that I did in a study (and coding) of all compression algorithms. I was programming a parallel C construction
to reside on a satellite. Fractal
compression never became part of that project because fractal compression
1) requires computational power to build the self similar
"Iterated Function System"
2) the compression's measure of lossless-ness is imprecise
(one can pass precise tests if well defined for specific instances but there is
no certain and general (simple) methodology to measure the loss and gain of
information). As in the OASIS 2004
Business Centric Methodology (BCM)), choice points are required to reify new
categorical abstractions and thus human in the loop methodology is necessary
(for compression of data into information structure).
When is this important and what is the purpose of the
information structure? This problem of
measurement is exactly the same as what we see (only partially addressed in
Business Centric Methodology), and more fully addressed in an Information
Structure Interpretation Environment proposed by the second school.
In the possible ISIE standard, we would have the
observation of co-occurrence of invariances in data element usage in blueprints
selected for use between business partners.
The data compression (into categoricalAbstraction) follows intuitions
similar to those expressed by Azamat, Ballard, Klausner and others.
The two papers are on:
similarity

and
memory

.
This work was before my second round of collaboration on
the Hilbert engine.

This second round lead to three significant developments:
1) work with Don Mitchell on the knowledge operating
system (a concept that Don had developed before we meet). Some aspects of the KOS was first realized
in the SLIP browsers. This realization
was incomplete because Don and I ran out of funds.

2) work with Nathan Einwechter on the categorical
abstraction of pattern invarance and the expression of this invariance into
Orbs (Ontology referential bases).

This work was influenced by my effort on the CCM patents
owned by Applied Technical Systems

3) The BCNGroup Roadmap for Semantic Technology Adoption

The development of an OASIS standard for "compression
of data into information structure" is now possible. Ballard's work on n-ary representation of
information structure is relevant.
