Hi ZhuBin,
To continue our discussion on making an ontology immersive (first text,
(then SVG?), then vrml or vroml (virtual reality ontology markup
language). A wiki page was created at:
http://dao.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ImmersiveOntology (01)
You can read some of the previous messages in the forum. In general,
its not a simple matter to state our status and goals. We are
interested in building a digital art ontology - that goal is almost
mundane (a matter of structuring concepts in protege) - so we seem to
be focusing on the 'means' to the end. We are discussing automation,
ways to 'capture' or 'harvest' expert domain knowledge. (02)
Collaborative spaces - listservs, blogs, wikis - are where expert
knowledge (vocabulary) is harboring. (03)
The original dynamic collaborative space was the MOO (structured
database). It is a simple text in a terminal interface - though the
real time, user driven effect is still relevant in todays browser
world. No image data makes it fast. @build Room1. Why is Short
Messaging service so popular... though people are fascinated by
high-res rendered interfaces, they are still operating in constrained
low data environments. (04)
Text is a very compressed communication interface - look at present
audio or video synthesis tools for example. Pure Data and Max are
graphic interfaces, while Supercollider is an object oriented
programming environment. To make a sound in SC, I only need type:
{Noise.ar(100hz)}.play. (05)
To build an ontology in protege is the same - I'm working with icons
and visual programming tools. this is good. In multiuser ontology
groups I might work with a client application, and the server updates
my display by sending short commands. If we work with the text in a
terminal interface we could even use mobile communication devices to
update and monitor the state of our knowledge. I like to work at coffee
houses a lot! The office of the future. (06)
These are just some thoughts to get you going. (07)
dao.cim3 is our collaborative ontology space. The present tool they are
using for ontology browsing is called the Sigma browser. You can look
at that. It is a standard type of interface. It gets the job done. But
we are a digital media group, and we should develop something a little
less functional :). Just kidding. I hope our effort leads to a highly
intuitive knowledge schema authoring and browsing environment. (08)
The general goal is to be immersed in a knowledge model. What are the
ways to navigate a knowledge space - physically (3D)... traverse an
x,y,z vector space (without wormholes) or symbolically (text -
non-linear)... go there now. They could work together. Then text
becomes the means to wormhole your way through the visual knowledge
space. (09)
Anyway, you can see we're having fun. (010)
