i think it’s really cool how the semantic web people did a bunch of work and wrote a bunch of theory about how we can teach computers to reason, and then within a few years mostly agreed that having computers reason is a waste of time, but kept the formal specifications and vocabulary because it actually made things easier for humans to explain things to each other

it’s not Inconsistent to say that ontologies are a kind of object, it’s just Wrong

this is fine for what i’m doing so far but i’m still waiting for that Moment when a specification inevitably tries to use an Ontology Itself as the subject or object of an object property, thus implying that owl:Ontology is an owl:Class not merely an rdfs:Class (these are not the same)

anyway the actually interesting insight wasn’t in that specification but in the specification mapping R·D·F to Direct Semantics which states, with no fanfare, that all owl:OntologyProperty’s (note: this term is not documented) are silently transformed into owl:AnnotationProperty’s (interesting for the insight that properties of ontologies are functionally annotations in their implications)

if you are wondering how bad it can be, you have clearly never read a Semantics specification

learning cursed knowledge (reading the Owl 2 R·D·F‐Based Semantics specification)

not sure creating an Owl ontology from handwritten X·M·L is ever a good idea but if it is i’m sure getting close with it

everybody knows she means boi anyway

literally rewound because i KNOW the lyric is boy and doesn’t sound at all like girl but that is what i heard ok

brain just audibly replaced "boy" with "girl" while listening to Sweetie by Carly Rae Jepsen and yeah sure

no i don’t just mean for manual work it’s hard to think when it is hot ok

hourly pay should be directly correlated with the heat index at the location where the work is happening, and length of workday likewise inversely correlated

my girlfriend is SO NICE they made me TEA ☕️

i·e·t·f publishes like 200 r·f·c’s a year that’s way more than pokémon

unlike pokémon tho there do exist bad w3 specifications

w3 specofications are KIND OF like pokémon

hey you know that part of the specification which is frankly underspecified and generally requires reading between the lines and carrying forward expectations made in different documents in order to even understand what the appropriate behaviour is? well i depend on that
