   Semantic Web Maintenance (WAS RE: [xml-dev] P2P and URIs)

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

Not exactly.  Authority is itself evaluated 
with respect to the problem being solved as 
part of the argument.
 
The Wright Bros solved many problems of 
building powered gliders, but none regarding 
air compressability and flight controls 
because those problems didn't occur in 
relative low speed flight.  Asking for 
authoritative guidance requires very explicit 
questions and a very thorough knowledge 
apriori or test of the authority.

Work out that problem with respect to the 
URI (authoritative assertions based on DNS) 
and RDF.  What will be the problems of 
scoping the RDF assertions with regards to 
the domain of a subject and the changes in 
that subject as its applications become 
more advanced or specific?  Maintenance?

Given that problem, expert systems never got 
beyond being advisors to humans although 
at least one of them became a good soup 
maker.  Competence will be an issue for 
Semantic Web applications.  Vette the source.

SBIRs, etc. are usually broadcast and the 
responses evaluated to create a select 
list of qualified candidates.   This is where 
the web service concept of discovery overlaps 
the Semantic Web concepts of authority.

In other words, argument from authority is no argument
at all.
