Hi Helen:

 

Exactly! 

 

In my work, primarily as a management analyst, I use what I'm calling a "general ontology" within this forum to provide (through the use of my GO metaschema/ontology, an corresponding methodology to populate and manage that metaschema, and a commercial knowledge-modeling and management technology that fits my technical requirements) a multidimensional (not just hierarchical) classification of the subjects being managed by my client enterprises.  My approach provides what has been called a “common-ground”, “backplane”, “core”, “hub”, etc., object-relational database application that can integrate the subjects of the enterprise into a whole-enterprise “intelligence base”.   

 

The "hierarchical facets" (i.e., taxonomies) I use are deep trees of inventoried classes/subclasses/instances of:

·         Locations (e.g., Physical, virtual, conceptual),

·         Organizations (e.g., government, commercial, private),

·         organization units (e.g., staff offices, program offices, project offices, teams, positions, roles),

·         functions (e.g., executive, production, support/resource),

·         processes (e.g., natural, mental, social, mechanical, electrical, electronic, computer),

·         resources (e.g., life-forms/persons, intelligence/knowledge/public/encyclopedia, funds, skills, materiel/equipment/IT, facilities/wiring-closets, services/Internet/web-hosting, space/office/staff-worker, energy/electrical/kilowatt-hours, and time/event/schedule/duration serving roles as inputs, controls, outputs, or mechanism (ICOM) to processes),

·         missions (e.g., collections of requirements identifying the quantity, quality, schedule, and life-cycle state of resources needed to fulfill a combination of resource-role/process/function/organization-unit/organization/location needs at various stages of a process). 

 

The navigation axes (i.e., relation types) I use are:

·         categorization of a subject (i.e., showing up and down traversal of the above hierarchical (i.e., class/subclass/instance) facets/taxonomies showing conceptual relations),

·         containment of a subject (i.e., showing container/component relations in Concept, Space (i.e., matter and/or energy, 3D), Time, and Space-Time (i.e., 4D) (i.e., CSTS-T)

·         sequence of a subject (i.e., showing predecessor/successor relations in CSTS-T, with attributes defining the role (e.g., customer, supplier) that the subject plays in a location/organization/organization-unit/function/process/resource/mission value chain)

·         change of a subject (i.e., showing prior-state/current-state/possible-future-state relations in CSTS-T)

·         variance from a subject (i.e., basis/derivation relations in CSTS-T)

·         equivalence between subjects (i.e., full, partial, or possible equivalence subject relations in CSTS-T, useful for thesauri functionality, identifying/resolving ambiguity of meaning, and for physical and knowledge inventory management)

·         reference about subject (i.e., referrals of one subject to another, as concepts)

 

Roy

Interesting that you should mention that Roy! Yesterday I was talking

to a customer about faceted navigation - more structure, metadata, and

taxonomies (or ontology if logic is included :0), but it seems best

suited for domain applications or collections, homogenous sets of

entities, possibly NOT a hierarchy, but with the purpose of reflecting

the scope and subject of a classification system. It offers support for

user tasks and analysis.

FYI:

 

For those following the "classification" thread within this forum, the

following email might provide useful and interesting content. 

 

My suggested General Ontology approach uses "faceted classification"

techniques to define the context of a subject.

Working

Drafts

 

  W3C Semantic Web Best Practices and Deployment Working Group

 

We are pleased to announce the publication of the following technical

reports as

second W3C Public Working Drafts:

 

  SKOS Core Guide

  http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-swbp-skos-core-guide-20051102/

 

  SKOS Core Vocabulary Specification

  http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-swbp-skos-core-spec-20051102/

 

For a summary of revisions since first Working Draft publication see:

 

http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-swbp-skos-core-spec-20051102/#secchanges

 

SKOS Core is a simple, flexible and extensible language for expressing

in a

machine-understandable form the structure and content of concept

schemes

such as

thesauri, classification schemes, subject heading lists, taxonomies,

'folksonomies', other types of controlled vocabulary, and also concept

schemes

embedded in glossaries and terminologies.

 

For links to tutorials, presentations, development information, version

history,

translations, proposals, datasets and more see the SKOS Core home page:

 

http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core/

 

The SKOS Core Vocabulary is an application of the Resource Description

Framework

(RDF).  Using RDF allows data to be linked to and/or merged with other

data.

In

practice, this means that distributed sources of data can be

meaningfully

composed and integrated.

 

For more information about RDF and related specifications, see the

Semantic

Web

Activity home page:

 

http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/

 

The 'SKOS Core Guide' is a guide to the recommended usage of the SKOS

Core

Vocabulary, for readers who already have a basic understanding of RDF

concepts.

 

The 'SKOS Core Vocabulary Specification' gives a reference-style

overview of

the

SKOS Core Vocabulary, and describes policies for ownership, naming,

persistence

and change management.

 

These reports are second public Working Drafts, and are work in

progress.

We

ask at this stage for feedback from anyone with a potential interest in

using

these specifications, or with relevant expertise.  Please send comments

and

suggestions on these drafts to public-esw-thes@xxxxxx and begin the

subject

line

of the message with 'comment:'.  If possible, please send comments

before

31st

January 2006.

 

The Semantic Web Best Practices and Deployment Working Group is

committed to

a

public, consensus-driven design environment for SKOS Core, and to this

end

conducts all SKOS-related discussion in public, in particular drawing

on

feedback from the Semantic Web Interest Group mailing list:

 

  public-esw-thes@xxxxxx

 

This work has benefited greatly from contributions made

by the members of this mailing list, and their feedback, suggestions

and

encouragement are gratefully acknowledged.  The public-esw-thes@xxxxxx

mailing

list is open, and anyone is welcome to subscribe or to post messages.
