A list can be a pick list, an index, an authority file\nAmbiguity Control\nChristine Connors vs. Christine Conners :(\n\nList of food\nWe recently had a long holiday weekend, usually highlighted by barbecues, so let’s start with a list of food: hot dogs, hamburgers, buns, mustard, mayo, ketchup, onions, pickles, chips, salad, cookies, etc etc\n\n-----------\nA synonym ring is what we think Roget’s Thesaurus is.\nSynonym Control (Equivalence Relationships)\nKetchup or Catsup\n\n----------\nHierarchical Relationships\nIs A, Part of type relationships\nWhere would you put the poor tomato?\nTomato - vegetable? Fruit? Both? It’s part of ketchup, should it be linked to ketchup under condiments? \nMono-hierarchical vs. poly-hierarchical\n\n\n\n------------\nAssociative Relationships - See Also\nSalt and Pepper - Spice? Condiment? Or would it be helpful to tell the user who is looking at Spices to also review Condiments? (or, do it for them -- Steve Krug’s Don’t Make Me Thnk)\nSee NISO Z39.19-2005\nBT = Broader Term\n NT = Narrower Term\n RT = Related Term (“See also”)\n SN = Scope Note\n UF = Used For\n USE = “See” (Refers reader from variant term to vocabulary term.)\n------------\nGet to define your own relationship types!\nLocalization\nAnnotation\nReasoning\n“NOT”\n\nOntology 101 by Natalya Foy and Deb McGuinnes \nSemantic Web for the Workind Ontologist by Dean Allemang and James Hendler\n----------------------------\n\n\nThere is NO ONE RIGHT WAY to build any of these. They are an ART and a SCIENCE. The IA, UX, UI, etc - all human-computer interaction models for your system are important inputs to the design. \n
I can do my BT/NT stuff, but I can also create classes and properties that i need for my own application\n\nI can also say NO - this object is NOT part of a certain class or have a certain property. In this diagram, I could easily add a branch for the British Isles, define it as having England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands etc, but be able to state specifically that Ireland is not part of the United Kingdom, so as not to create confusion for a machine processing the concept base. The power of no.\n\nI an also now take this graph (presuming I’d encoded it properly) and link it to other graphs that define the UK if I choose.\n
