RE: HM.Requirements: HumanProof

["Bullard, Claude L (Len)" <clbullar@ingr.com>]

Identification processes use data (observable) to create candidate

lists.   Then another more focused process is engaged which narrows

and verifies.   The principle of  view dimensionality involves the

processes that construct the view by selecting choices of

choices and choices.   A report may be created by query

or other means.    The role of inference engines (eg, RDF systems)

may be in guidance for each step of focusing the view, that is,

candidate selection.   Most of the technology for query refinement

comes into play.

 

However, the data mining aspects involve:

 

1.  Names and types of information that are in the database

(with the obvious issues of namespaces).  This is something

schemas do well.

 

2.  Relationships that exist among names and types of

information (something Topic Maps and RDF do).

 

3.  Policies regarding the collection and dissemination

for the names and types of information.

 

4.  Rules for follow on actions given identification and

classification of some type and an instance of that.

 

The system deals with stereotypes until an individual

is selected and at this point, the issues of identity

come into play.   However, there are multiple systems 

for ascribing identity to a person and any system 

of categorization and selection should work with 

all of these.  Therefore, a web-centric system based 

on URIs is useful within a web system of identification 

but it is extremely cherry to assume it is in use.  

That is, yes a human could be considered a resource, 

but I doubt they see themselves like that and part 

of the issue of HumanML is that there is an inner 

schema(s) and an outer schema(s) with properties 

that affect both self-identification and relationships. 

The only resources we can count on having a URI 

are our own models.   

 

Relationships among individuals are isolated and then

the system looks for known patterns of behavior to

identify types of activity that may initiate further

actions.     Visualization systems are very important

because the level of detail is high and in some

situations, rapid response requires the pattern

identification to be very efficient if somewhat gross.

Later, it is refined for other uses.

Subject: HM.Requirements: HumanProof

 

 

----------------------------
Based on Sean's SW article (which was very clear and insighful),

http://infomesh.net/2001/swintro/
     - The Semantic Web: An Introduction

 SW architecture provides us a means to determine trust and proof  of information through resources on the Internet, through namespaces. 

 

However, I don't believe there is a mechanism to verify the proof of information through human consultation.  The obvious problem, as Len brought up in previous posts, is that human beings do not have a URI...only information associated with them does.  Thus, part of HumanMarkup specifications would have to include a manner in which human beings can be contacted regarding verfication of a message regarding them.

 

Simple Example:  If I am assumed/accused of being a trerrorist, I would like the chance to _personally and immediately_ provide evidence/proof/statements directly to the effect countering such claims.  Obviously, that would entail the message being routed to my proximity/location/wirelessdevice.

 

Referesher--is it PP/CP the technology I am thinking about that might be related, to describe the different devces that might be able to determine the appropriate medium through which a message is sent/received by a person?

 

HM.Requirments:  human proof

---------------

"HumanMarkup specifications could account for specifications to allow human beings to prove data regarding themselves. "

 

Logistically, this would be difficult except in localized environments anytime soon, but as a thought process I think it is important to keep in mind in the long term.
