This is a great post.
The problem with the thesis is that just because classical ontology doesn't work for the entire internet, doesn't mean that we can't apply it in many domains.
Formal ontology could be used very well in a variety of areas.
Informal, or less concise ontology again in many areas.
And leave tagging for the rest.
- maxerickson 8y agoAren't tagging and "informal ontology" pretty much equivalent?
- sonnyblarney 8y agoWell there are surely other informal ways of doing 'ontology'. The point being - more rigorous methods can definitely be valuable in areas, and I don't think it's a good idea to ignore this fact. It's a bygone issue because there wasn't a critical mass in place to make it work, but there could be.
