The document is a presentation detailing a webinar hosted by Andreas Blumauer and Ian Piper on the relationship between taxonomies and ontologies in knowledge modeling. It covers concepts such as the semiotic triangle, knowledge acquisition bottlenecks, and the construction of knowledge graphs, emphasizing the necessity of balancing implicit and explicit semantics. The session also explores practical applications of these concepts in content knowledge graphs and the role of various knowledge models in artificial intelligence.

Yin and Yang of Semantic Knowledge Modelling 4 Yin Yang Passive/female principle in nature Active/male principle in nature Receive information and classify Define world and reason about it Taxonomies Ontologies/Rules Implicit semantics Explicit semantics Search for ‘taxonomist’ on LinkedIn → ⅔ of found persons are female Search for ‘ontologist’ on LinkedIn → ⅔ of found persons are male Better to let them work together!
- 7. Implicit Semantics ▸ Natural languages ▸ Ambiguity versus Universality ▸ Context information and background knowledge needed 7 Susan observes Mike on a tower with a telescope.
- 8. Context is King ▸ Natural languages ▸ Ambiguity versus Universality ▸ Context information and background knowledge needed 8 - Susan and Mike are persons. - Yesterday Michael bought a Celestron. - If one buys something, (s)he owns it and can use it. - Mike and Michael is the same person. - A Celestron is a telescope. Susan observes Mike on a tower with a telescope.

- 18. Use co-occurences between concepts and terms to extract ‘shadow concepts’ 18 This site is a 15th-century Inca site located 2,430 metres above sea level. It is located in Cusco, Peru. It is situated on a mountain ridge above the Sacred Valley through which the Urubamba River flows. Most archaeologists believe that it was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti. Often mistakenly referred to as the "Lost City of the Incas", it is the most familiar icon of Inca civilization. The Incas built the estate around 1450, but abandoned it a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Inca site Machu Picchu Cusco Inca empire Inca emperor Peru Spanish Conquest Sacred Valley Chankas Lost City Pachacuti In addition to explicitly used concepts and terms, Machu Picchu is extracted from the article as a Shadow Concept. As a prerequisite, one has to provide and analyze a representative text corpus first. Example:

Ontologies: Some more explicit semantics ▸ Ontologies ▸ Ontologies classify things and define more specific relations and attributes ▸ Locally and globally recognised ontologies can be combined ▸ Ontologies can have various levels of expressivity (RDFS, OWL)20 schema: Product Telescope schema:name foaf: Person schema:owns Mike foaf:nick Michael foaf:givenName foaf: Person Susan foaf:givenName myOnt:observes geo: Spatial Thing Tower of Babel skos:prefLabel schema: Brand schema:brand Celestron schema:name myOnt:visits

Available with a variety of optical tubes up to 127 mm in aperture, the NexStar SLT has something for everyone. Beginners will appreciate the intuive SkyAlign technology, which makes aligning your device's computer to the night sky as easy as centering three bright objects in the eyepiece. The NexStar SLT is a precision instrument that can grow with you in the hobby of amateur astronomy for years to come.
