Peter Gärdenfors on Computer Science - Dictionary of Arguments
I 258 Computer Science/Gärdenfors: it is an unfortunate dogma of computer science and the semantic web to assume that all semantic content should be reducible to logic of the first level or quantum theory. Example Berners-Lee et al. (2001)(1): Thesis: Fortunately, most of the information we want to express can be expressed along this line: "A hex screw is a type of screw". GärdenforsVsBerners-Lee: Unfortunately this is not true. --- I 259 Classification/Similarity/Gärdenfors: when we consider how people deal with concepts, the class structures mostly capture similarities between the objects. (Goldstone, 1994, Gärdenfors, 2000).(2)(3) Problem: precisely a term like similarity cannot be expressed in the ontology of the semantic web. 1. What the Semantic Web can represent.
