Coalesced

Integrating/bridging narrative/discourse with computable knowledge graphs (and back)

What

How to ground knowledge graphs (that can be used for prediction or computational simulation experiments and models) in the discourse of evidence in scientific literature? How to transition from unstructured literature to knowledge graphs and keep things updated with appropriate provenance for (un)certainty?

don't know if a joint project makes sense, but perhaps coordinated first prototypes of a bridge?

could use:

  • someone with programming skills to implement a POC translation between a discourse graph and one of the specific modeling languages/ontologies

Synthesis-oriented social media aka "from the stream to the garden"

What

How to enable sharing/direction of scholarly attention in a synthesis-oriented manner (e.g., not just popularity, but relevance to questions/hypotheses/methods, etc.)?

context in discussions on Discord:

https://discord.com/channels/1029514961782849607/1033091723389317160/1037771875012591616

concrete example: https://discord.com/channels/1029514961782849607/1037786518800039978/1037791239908622466

Benjamin Goering started a thread with a prototype of expressing a graph of info using both ActivityStreams and SEPIO ontologies - https://discord.com/channels/1029514961782849607/1033091723389317160/1040042059916120094

Next (ideas for next steps, open problems)

there seems to be some energy behind producing a prototype/spec, perhaps to implement in an ActivityPub base

could use:

  • a "user" (preferably non-technical) to give feedback on mental models here. maybe Pooja Upadhyay?

Extending semantic mediawiki to cover discourse graph modeling

What

It could be really valuable to try to prototype a "computable" synthesis of the knowledge in this workshop here in the wiki. One test of the "computability" would be to make it visualizable.

Could have applications to thesemantic climate setting that Peter Murray-Rust is working on

See discussion in #discourse-modeling channel

Latent/forming

Information models for (collaborative) interdisciplinary synthesis

What

How do we define minimal information models tuned for synthesis that can interoperate across various disciplines?

Concrete problem expressed by Peter-Murray Rust here: https://discord.com/channels/1029514961782849607/1040214388554084372/1040299259930611833: "The idea of Hypothesis testing is common in some disciplines, unknown in others. For example chemical synthesis or materials science is "can we make X?" and many sciences are exploratory - what can we see with a new telescope, plants in Antarctica, etc. You have to design your project but I suspect Hypothesis doesn't come into it."


And to a certain extent, the issue of representing/discussing the discourse of computational research (e.g., model parameters), discussed by Konrad Hinsen here: https://discord.com/channels/1029514961782849607/1038988750677606432/1039576903838859326


This connects also with Peter-Murray Rust's work on semantic climate (semantifying the IPCC report).

And also connects to emerging discussions around interoperability and Surfacing/managing/resolving disagreements in ontologies/terms/federation
