It shouldnt matter how a general ontology is used, it should be available for multiple different AI and AGI processes, to be generally useful.
And the key thing about this usage is it doesnt get any information from a single text, but extracts patterns from the mass usage, reading a single passage is much more difficult. I have also used this in conjunction with Google news feed, where many many articles can be gathered in a short period on a single topic, and reinforce the information.

But if you don't specify how ontology will be used, why do you believe that it will be more useful than original texts? Probably at a point where you'll be able to make use of ontology you'd also be able to analyze texts directly (that is, if you aim that high, otherwise it's a different issue entirely). -- Vladimir Nesov mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?& _______________________________________ James Ratcliff - http://falazar.com Looking for something... --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.
