Subject: RE: [xtm-wg] Re : Topics, Subjects, Things
Bernard I'm sure we'll meet somewhere. In fact, I firmly believe we've already met ... What we need to do is exchange more words with each other so we can define what is the exactg nature of our meeting, and then work out from there to broaden and deepen the meeting-ground! I'm looking forward to it Daniel -----Original Message----- From: Bernard Vatant [mailto:b.vatant@wanadoo.fr] Sent: 25 October 2000 22:19 To: xtm-wg@eGroups.com Subject: [xtm-wg] Re : Topics, Subjects, Things Ann, Daniel Thank you for tuning me. I'm coming there from quite far away with too much initial speed I'm afraid, so I have to settle my trajectory a bit in the Topic Maps attractor ;-) Anyway, what I pick from Ann's answer is that it's easier for now to map the part of the real world implemented in computers, data bases, real networks ... than to map the concepts "in our minds". I can understand and must agree with that. OTOH, the "real chaotic Web" is anyway sort of good projection of the complexity of concepts and visions of the world of authors and users, so mapping the Web is more or less mapping the concepts. And maybe the only way to do it for now, a nice piece of a program to begin with anyway! But from my viewpoint, being good only at metaphysics and ontology, I take the challenge to start from scratch real world - people acting around themes with tools inside social dynamics - help them build an ontology of their action, clarify the concepts they use and implement it as a collectiveTM. Sure we'll meet somewhere ...
