a quick reflection on the link between, ontologies, folksonomies, wisdom of crowd and cognition in the wild.

1. Fabien Gandon, Alain Giboin, Edelweiss, Inria

2. KNOWLEDGE
ENGINEERING 1.0
we do have methods,
formalisms and tools

3. ERGONOMICS ?
in ontology‐based
applications

4. USER IN THE LOOP
but in whose loop?
in ours not his!

5. we still design technical solutions instead of
SITUATED SOLUTIONS

6. USER 2.0
a new computational resource

7. e.g. CAPTCHA
Completely Automated
Public Turing test to
Tell Computers and
Humans Apart

10. RELAY
attack : exploit online users
to solve the CAPTCHA for a
malicious application

11. « USE USERS »
with the right incentive,
to classify, organize, etc.

12. game
ESP

13. galaxy
ZOO

14. SOCIAL TAGGING
collectively create
and manage tags to
annotate and
categorize content

16. a huge number of users creating
a huge number of categories

17. ACQUISITION 1.0
the old bottleneck of
knowledge systems

18. TAG
TERM
CONCEPT
(candidate)

19. ONTOLOGY FOLKSONOMY
defined by the kind defined by the way
of knowledge it
contains
& it was obtained

20. first trials with
ONTOGAMES

21. oconception
ooperation
and evolution as a side effect
oevolution
of the two artifacts

22. importance of incentives and
MOTIVATIONS

23. WISDOM
of crowd ?

24. VOTES FROM THE
PUBLIC…
What is turning around the earth ?
The Moon The Sun
Mars Venus
who wants de win millions of
ONTOLOGIES

25. EPPUR SI MUOVE
Galileo, 1564‐1642, epitaph

26. CONTROL
statistics
cross‐check
honeypot / traps

27. PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE
“An important aspect of the larger unit
is that it contains computational
elements (persons) who cannot be
described entirely in computational
terms.”
Cognition in the wild, Hutchins, 1995
