Initial Consequences

Initial Consequences. 1We need to go beyond
Warburgs vision of Survival of the the Classics
(Nachleben der Antike) to include the roots of
these ideas (Vorleben de Antike).
5
Initial Consequences. 2We need new systems that
integrate knowledge at different levels and
different scales of reality.
6
Initial Consequences. 3Links to dictionaries in
our own language are not enough. We need
collaborative efforts on comparative etymological
dictionaries.
7
Initial Consequences. 4These links need to go
to levels below full words to include the
meanings of individual phonemes.
8
Initial Consequences. 5The important links in
culture are not just with single words but across
different levels of reality.
9
Initial Consequences. 6When we enter such
levels of complexity, then Who? and What?
Questions need to complemented with Where?,
When?, How? And Why?
10
The WWW is focussing on the logic and truth of
born-digital links.This is important.
11
Initial Consequences. 7A Semantic Web of the
futureneeds to grow into aWide Worlds Web.

Desideratum 1 The principle of hotlinks can be
extended to omnilinks whereby every word can be a
multilayered set of connections.
20
Desideratum 1 These omnilinks can take us to
multiple sources.They can also take us via
existing classing and ordering systems to arrive
at multiple sources more systematically.
21
Desideratum 2 This implies that URLs (URIs and
URNs) alone are not enough for a web of trust.
We need links back to the original object or
its official digital version by the owner. So a
link to Mona Lisa in the Louvre is distinguished
from the many Mona links.
22
Desideratum 3 Professional cameras already
record time and spatial co-ordinates of a
picture. This needs to be incorporated into
capture technology generally and become part of
our web metadata.
23
The US Military and Microsoft are working on a
complete 3D scale model of the physical world.
We are already tagging products and animals
with Digital Object Identifiers (DOIS). If these
are co-ordinated, then taking a snapshot can link
us to knowledge bases about objects.
24
In the past we used libraries to learn about the
world. If we tag the virtual version of the
world and link it with both our knowledge bases
and the original then cameras which were passive
can become active and we can use the physical
world as a point of entry into libraries.
25
Desideratum 4 Cross-Referencing our digital
earth with knowledge bases means that our
physical earth can effectively become a search
engine when we focus a camera or sensor on some
detail.
26
Today search engines search for URLs, (URNs or
URIs). Systems such as Google tell us nothing
about the level of reality of the findings.
27
A search for Mona Lisa gives us1. Image of
Original in Louvre2. Many copies of Image 3.
Many versions of Image4. Many texts about Mona
Lisa 5. Many objects adapting Mona Lisa.
28

It is possible to distinguish five basic levels
of reality.
29

This principle can be applied to traditional
disciplines.
30

The semantic web has focussed thus far on Logic
(in Black Box).
31

The same principle applied to basic disciplines
of knowledge.
32
Appendix 4. The same principle applied to
branches of medicine.
The same principle applied to branches of
medicine.
33
Desideratum 5We can use the ordered knowledge
of traditional disciplines to distinguish between
different levels of reality of our searches. We
can then search specifically for literary
references to Mona Lisa.
34
Today search engines search with no idea of why
we are searching. If our goal is leisure then a
search for Florence should lead to different
information than if our goal is research.
35
The principle of different worlds applied to
basic goals of searching.
36
Desideratum 6We can also use levels of reality
to help distinguish different goals in searching
for information and knowledge.
37
One of the seminal problems of searching is that
we do not have the technical vocabulary
(authority files) to find it in various systems.
38
We can use the specialized vocabularies of
classification systems and thesauri to provide
users with the vocabulary to find what they want.
In short, even before we do searching we give
users the words they require to search with
proper terms.
39
This applies equally to the categories we need to
begin a search. Hence, if our goal is education
and our subject is religion, the system gives a
series of prompts.

The same principle applied to branches of
religion.
41
Desideratum 7The specialized vocabularies of
classification systems and thesauri can provide
users with controlled vocabulary to find what
they want.
42
Today there is a great emphasis on ontologies as
new systems to replace existing ones. This is
valuable.
43
Desideratum 8We also need to use multilingual,
historical classifications, and thesauri to give
us access methods into the knowledge systems of
other places and times.
44
Thus far the web has focussed on verbal searches.
Exceptions have been experiments such as QBIC,
Excalibur.
45
Here alphabets and historical versions can
provide us with technical concepts for searching.
46
Here product catalogues, visual dictionaries and
historical versions can be extremely valuable in
providing us with technical vocabularies for
searching.
47
Desideratum 9We can extend the concept of
omnilinks to include visual images from alphabets
and visual dictionaries and use these as an aid
to navigation.
48
There are great potentials in further
distinguishing scales of reality and using images
as orientation tools.

54



Human Scale applied to Chakras as entry into 3
chakra schools.
55






Human Scale applied to Chakras as entry into
details of cakra school.
56
Desideratum 10We can extend the concept of
omnilinks to visual images at different scales
and use these as further aids to navigation.
57
Desideratum 11We can use ordered knowledge of
the past as a tool in searching for past and
present knowledge. We need to integrate the
notion of Virtual Reference Rooms as a central
element of our quest for a semantic web.
58
Logic tests the truth of something for which a
universally true statement is assumede.g.
scientific laws, business transactionsHere 1-1
links in a closed WWW web are enough.
59
Culture is a web of many to many links of
worlds knowledges stories beliefs
interpretations meanings traditionsFuture
Webs need to expand beyond closedclouds of URLS
to link with open worlds beyond.
60
Here a logical system that expects one answer to
be true to the exclusion of others in terms of
1-1 misses the point. Here variant
namesvariant versions of stories are
fundamental keys to understanding the richness of
human expressions. .
61
Semantic webs cannot know the truth of a belief,
myth or story. Semantic web can and must
establish true links back to the sources beyond
the digital web so that individuals and scholars
can make their own decisions about level of
truth, meaning, correctness of interpretation.
62
Desideratum 12We need to integrate different
versions, different ways of knowing, different
knowledge systems, different knowledges into
our quest for a semantic web.
