«What is harder to understand is how in nearly 25 years of the web, when people have told us what they THINK about local subsidies approximately one kajillion times we can’t find one — ONE! — syllabus-ready treatment of the issue.»

Of course, “can’t find” isn’t quite the same as “doesn’t exist” (unless you ask me again in an hour), but… good point.

(In case it’s not obvious, “local subsidies” is not the topic here.)

I really need to #readLater this essay on #knowledgeManagement #ontology

(I might be misusing “ontology”. Oh well.)

Or… maybe I’m ok, after all:

«Ontologies. Ontology is the newest label to be attached to some knowledge organization systems. The knowledge-management community is developing ontologies as specific concept models. They can represent complex relationships among objects, and include the rules and axioms missing from semantic networks. Ontologies that describe knowledge in a specific area are often connected with systems for data mining and knowledge management.»

Found via Google search «is there an “-ology” for knowledge organization and management?»

Oh my goodness, there are at least two organizations dealing with this:

• https://www.isko.org
• https://knoworg.org/ (a private organization with a broken web site, afaict)
