Dear Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to attend a special DHCS meeting this Friday,
October 26. John Sowa will deliver a brief talk and then will field
questions about his work. Mr. Sowa will be talking about general
principles of knowledge representation, but he will be gearing his talk
towards humanities scholars. More specifically, we have asked Mr. Sowa to
address the issue of teaching knowledge representation to graduate
students in the humanities. The meeting will run from 10 AM to noon in
Clemons 201.
Mr. Sowa has provided links to the papers that will serve as a basis for
his talk. Please read as much as you can by Friday. He will focus on
numbers 1 and 2: <http://www.jfsowa.com/ontology/guided.htm>.
From Mr. Sowa's Web site: "John F. Sowa spent thirty years working on
research and development projects at IBM and another seven years teaching,
writing, and consulting. He has an SB degree in mathematics from MIT, an
AM in applied mathematics from Harvard, and a DSc in computer science from
the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. He is a fellow of the American Association
for Artificial Intelligence, and he has participated in standards projects
for conceptual schemas, knowledge sharing, and ontology."
best,
Andrea
