I have heard it said that “a rose by any other name would smell as sweet”. The original line comes from Shakespeare’s famous play about Romeo and Juliet:
“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.”
According to scholars: Juliet, prevented from marrying Romeo by the feud between [...]

The Keys to Relevance

A key is a fundamental or central operative of harmony. The connexion of relevance is recognized concordantly.
A quick read of popular technology news and review sites– gives one the impression that the trouble people have with search engines– those called semantic search engines and all other search engines too– is the relevance of the [...]
Semantic Maps, Meaning, and other Nebulous Notions

A semantic map is a pattern imposed on reality or experience to assist in explaining it, mediating perception, or guiding response. That is the conception of a semantic map I want the reader to have in mind as we continue.
When the Passion for Search Technology meets the Logic of Inquiry.

Search. I suppose there is no denying that the word “search” ascended to significance in the consciousness of more people since the birth of Information Science than perhaps at any other time in history. This supposition is supported by a recent Pew Foundation internet study stating that:
The percentage of internet users who use [...]
Only Two Routes to Semantic Search?

Peter Mika recently wrote an article about the semantic web and NLP-style semantic search. I should just ignore his claim that there are only two roads to semantic search because he is plainly mistaken on that count. As Peter works for Yahoo, he was mainly discussing data processing with RDF and [...]
Semantic Acuity and Semantic Search
Posted in Perception, Semantic Models, Semantic Search, intelligent search on Wednesday, June 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
In looking at the comments of the last post The Search for Semantic Search, I see there appears to be some interesting interpretations. Let me explain my motives, address any perceived bias and clarify my position.
Alex Iskold wrote about semantic search that we were asking the wrong questions; that it was essentially the root [...]
The Search for Semantic Search
Posted in Intelligence, Perception, Semantic Models, Semantic Search, intelligent search, tagged intelligent search, search engines, semantics on Wednesday, June 18, 2008 | 5 Comments »
In a recent Read Write Web article that was much more myth than reality, Alex Iskold posits the fact that a semantic search engine must dethrone Google (myth1). Fortunately by the end of his article he concludes that he was mislead into thinking that. I do not think he was misled at [...]

I would like to address the few questions I received on the three parts 1,2 and 3 of the semantics of interpersonal relations. The first and most obvious questions was:
I don’t get it. What are the semantics?
This question is about the actual semantic rules that I did not state fully or formally in any [...]
The Semantics of Interpersonal Relations (Part 2)

In part 1, I offered some context and my definition of ’semantics’ as being the system of relationships that are important or significant to people and which are symptomatic of human experience. In this part, I will flush out what this means.
Though most people may be familiar with that famous quote: I think, therefore [...]
