Agenda
- Mike Bennett Introduction to Track 3
- Slides
- This track will cover a range of topics and questions such as:
- Truthmakers; perception; situation awareness
- Quality control of ontologies from the point of view of supporting theories
- How can we make our devices and manipulators?
- How can we use theoretical knowledge to create our measurement and other tools?
- Data verbalization: any unit of data can be read out loud.
- Data visualization
- Andrea Westerinen - Narratives to Gain Situational Awareness via Ontologies
- Abstract: This presentation introduces an ontology to describe how we conceptualize and communicate about situations in the real-world - the events, entities and relationships that exist. Building on ontological semantics, we propose a mapping from narratives (descriptions of the real-world) to propositional statements (triples), where the truth values of the propositions depend on objective reality but filtered by the subjective and intersubjective interpretations and goals of the narrator. Inspired by Walter Fisher’s narrative paradigm, we highlight the universality of storytelling as a means for humans to organize, interpret, and communicate experience. To model and compare narrative structures, we present an ontology that captures the who, what, where, when, why, and how within narratives. This enables systematic exploration of narratives' sources, sentiments, use of language and much more. And, this exploration can occur across multiple narratives and across time. Using an ontology provides conceptual clarity and minimizes ambiguity. The approach enables comparison of the topics, entities and actions discussed and how the narrative is structured and conveyed in order to appeal and engage the reader/listener.

Discussion
12:06 Michael DeBellis: I think it is a fundamental mistake to think that you first "model the world" and THEN you look at the data. That may work if you are just building ontologies for an ontology library but not if your ontology is going to be part of a larger system which is they way ontologies in the real world are usually used. Modeling goes from the bottom up as well as top down.
12:14 Dr Ravi Sharma: Trust levels for thruth bearer sources of information?
12:19 Dr Ravi Sharma: Sometimes it is hard to distinguish reality from imagining that the event haooened as if one saw it!
12:23 Dr Ravi Sharma: very good comment on purpose of how we participate ie narratives!
12:24 Dr Ravi Sharma: what is equivalent of defocus!
12:26 Dr Ravi Sharma: looks familiar
12:28 Dr Ravi Sharma: to distinguish overconfience and bias with actual uncertainty?
12:31 Dr Ravi Sharma: how much does the opinion on presentation influence the narrative? at least post-narrative!
12:34 Dr Ravi Sharma: how much is subjective aspect in narrative analysis?
12:37 Paul Tyson: Might be interesting to explore alignment/divergence of DNA with W3 Activity Streams and Vocabulary.
12:49 Bruce Bray: Would be interesting to see what your prompts look like
13:00 Alican Tüzün: Thanks andrea
13:12 Bruce Bray: excellent discussion today, thanks!
