An Emergence Epistemology for Modern Ontologies

On the heels of recent evolution in mathematics and astronomy, physics, biology, social sciences, and cognitive research, a new approach to the process of information modeling is now needed to support common cross-domain requirements, that is, a candidate Standard Ontology Model (SOM).

Motivation

Presently ontologies are built using approaches first typified by the Formula Translating System (FORTRAN), and are thus based on essential notions of "data structures" as proxies for operands to an algebraic formula; "routines" being a particular functional formula; and "return values" being the specific knowable output of the formula. The generic formula, y = f(x) (where "y" is equal to "f" upon "x"), exactly maps to the widespread Input-Process-Output model underpinning many methods; it is aptly descriptive to consider the Algebraic Formula the epistemology used to fashion many ontologies.

However if success of ontologies is judged by their fruits, the Formula paradigm appears to have produced representations of reality that are not being used to any depth, by anyone, clearly for the principle the ontologies being promulgated have no bearing upon the actual models being developed, and tested, by a data scientist most concerned with alternative theories of interaction and evolution within their domains. The core issue is no public domain ontology exists to structure the problems being solved by data scientists, meaning a scientist's use of today's public ontologies is meaningful primarily as a public service.

Formulaic data structures first emerged as Database Systems and then as Triple Stores. Triple Stores consolidated gargantuan systems of DBMS tables, using ontologies to existentially relate keys inherited from those tables, in hopes of reducing processing costs while increasing processing opportunities.

The Resource Description Framework (RDF) introduced the Standard Model for a "triple", composed of rdf:Subject-rdf:Predicate-rdf:Object and essential to logic representation. The RDF accommodated its rival meta-model in circulation by publishing a standard for rdf:Pair = rdf:First and rdf:Rest. The Standard Model for computer science was also determined a triple relation of Model-View-Controller.

In this context the epsilon operator is introduced by the generic formula, f(x) ε y (where "y" emerges from "f" upon "x"), to identify Emergence Paths pertinent to an Individual or class of Individuals. An Emergence Epistemology is detailed for development of models directly pertinent to ontologists and data scientists alike.




The following material is being rewritten


The Best Practices Wiki Information Model is fundamental to identify (a) semantic tags to markup Best Practices essays (b) semantic classes for Practice, Policy, Procedure and Process models, of prime interest (c) classes for Act, Action, Activity and Task that are the detailed enumerated steps for a "method" that achieves a particularly useful objective.
