Classifying Colors
As a writer, I can completely understand someone who "loves to collect words." Whether you are writing a story, reading or just mentally bookmarking words for future use, I get the fascination.
The Taxonomy of Redundancy
We have all worked at organizations at one time or another that touted their mission, vision, and values and expected staff to be able to recite them at any time, on the spot. If you have ever worked at a hospital, you were often threatened with "Joint Commission might ask you in the hallway and you have to know." Thirteen years later, no Joint Commission surveyor had ever stopped me to inquire of such information. All that memorizing was for naught.
Villains, Psychopaths, and Taxonomies
My unending search for unique and special taxonomies took a dark turn this week into the world of psychopaths, specifically those in movies.
Love of Many Kinds
It is Valentine's Day so you can't be too surprised that I found a taxonomy all about love. I was surprised at how many there were but this one jumped out at me if for no other reason than the archaic walk down memory lane when I opened the full paper and found uber mimeographed typewritten paper. I could smell the ink as though I was still in the junior high office turning the barrel of blue ink over and over again, knowing I wouldn't get that stain off my hands for days and not giving a flying fig.
The Changing Challenges for Semantic Enrichment
Changes and trends in information technology are perhaps best discovered by examining what users of IT say about how they’re using it. One of those opportunities is happening soon. Every year, Access Innovations hosts a meeting for users of the company’s Data Harmony software products. The theme of this year’s Data Harmony Users Group meeting is “Then and Now: Addressing the Changing Needs of Semantic Enrichment.” This begs some questions: Just what are the new challenges that semantic enrichment needs to meet? And why are the needs changing? Some preliminary answers may be found in the DHUG meeting agenda.
