Initial Consequences
Initial Consequences. 1
We need to go beyond Warburg’s vision of Survival of the the Classics
(Nachleben der Antike) to include the roots of these ideas (Vorleben de
Antike).
Initial Consequences. 2
We need new systems that integrate knowledge at different levels and
different scales of reality.
Initial Consequences. 3
Links to dictionaries in our own language are not enough. We need collaborative efforts on comparative
etymological dictionaries.
Initial Consequences. 4
These links need to go to levels below full words to include the
meanings of individual phonemes.
Initial Consequences. 5
The important links in culture are not just with single words but across different levels of reality.
Initial Consequences. 6
When we enter such levels of complexity, then Who? and What? Questions need to complemented with Where?, When?, How? And
Why?
The WWW is focussing on the logic and truth of born-digital links.
This is important.
Initial Consequences. 7
A Semantic Web of the futureneeds to grow into aWide Worlds Web.
In the past we made comments in the text: Justinianus, Digestum vetus (with the Glossa ordinaria of Accursius).Venice : Johannes and Gregorius de Gregoriis, de Forlivio and Jacobus Britannicus, 15 Dec. 1484. Folio. 349 leaves.427x285 mm. Bound in contemporary blind-stamped brown calf over wooden boards, with two metal clasps and coner and center metals.Prov.: Georg Altdorfer; Monastery of S. Mang, Fuessen.

Footnotes pointed to things outside the text often requiring great effort to find the source in question.

With electronic hotlinks we can go directly back to the source.

With electronic hotlinks we can check other editions.

With polyfunctional omnilinks we can go to historical editions.

Desideratum 1
The principle of hotlinks can be extended to omnilinks whereby every word can be a multilayered set of connections.
Desideratum 1
These omnilinks can take us to multiple sources.
They can also take us via existing classing and ordering systems to arrive at multiple sources more systematically.
Desideratum 2
This implies that URLs (URIs and URNs) alone are not enough for a web of trust.
We need links back to the original object –or its official digital version by the owner. So a link to Mona Lisa in the Louvre is distinguished from the many Mona links.
Desideratum 3
Professional cameras already record time and spatial co-ordinates of a picture. This needs to be incorporated into capture technology generally and become part of our web metadata.
The US Military and Microsoft are working on a complete 3D scale model of the physical world.
We are already tagging products and animals with Digital Object Identifiers (DOIS). If these are co-ordinated, then taking a snapshot can link us to knowledge bases about objects.
In the past we used libraries to learn about the world. If we tag the virtual version of the world and link it with both our knowledge bases and the original then cameras which were passive can become active and we can use the physical world as a point of entry into libraries.
Desideratum 4
Cross-Referencing our digital earth with knowledge bases means that our physical earth can effectively become a search engine when we focus a camera or sensor on some detail.
Today search engines search for URLs, (URNs or URIs). Systems such as Google tell us nothing about the level of reality of the findings.
A search for Mona Lisa gives us:
1. Image of Original in Louvre2. Many copies of Image 3. Many versions of Image4. Many texts about Mona Lisa 5. Many objects adapting Mona Lisa.

Desideratum 5
We can use the ordered knowledge of traditional disciplines to distinguish between different levels of reality of our searches.
We can then search specifically for literary references to Mona Lisa.
Today search engines search with no idea of why we are searching.
If our goal is leisure then a search for Florence should lead to different information than if our goal is research.

The principle of different worlds applied to basic goals of searching.
Desideratum 6
We can also use levels of reality to help distinguish different goals in searching for information and knowledge.
One of the seminal problems of searching is that we do not have the technical vocabulary (authority files) to find it in various systems.
We can use the specialized vocabularies of classification systems and thesauri to provide users with the vocabulary to find what they want.
In short, even before we do searching we give users the words they require to search with proper terms.
This applies equally to the categories we need to begin a search.
Hence, if our goal is education and our subject is religion, the system gives a series of prompts.

The same principle applied to branches of religion.
Desideratum 7
The specialized vocabularies of classification systems and thesauri can provide users with controlled vocabulary to find what they want.
Today there is a great emphasis on ontologies as new systems to replace existing ones. This is valuable.
Desideratum 8
We also need to use multilingual, historical classifications, and thesauri to give us access methods into the knowledge systems of other places and times.
Thus far the web has focussed on verbal searches.
Exceptions have been experiments such as QBIC, Excalibur.
Here alphabets and historical versions can provide us with technical concepts for searching.
Here product catalogues, visual dictionaries and historical versions can be extremely valuable in providing us with technical vocabularies for searching.
Desideratum 9
We can extend the concept of omnilinks to include visual images from alphabets and visual dictionaries and use these as an aid to navigation.
There are great potentials in further distinguishing scales of reality and using images as orientation tools.
Cosmic Scale: Map of Heavens as an entry point.
Cosmic Scale: World trees as entry points into different cultural systems
Cosmic Scale As entry points into different cultural systems
Tree Scale as entry points into different cultural systems
Human Scale applied to Buildings as entry into architectural schools.
Human Scale applied to Chakras as entry into 3 chakra schools.
Human Scale applied to Chakras as entry into details of cakra school.
Desideratum 10
We can extend the concept of omnilinks to visual images at different scales and use these as further aids to navigation.
Desideratum 11
We can use ordered knowledge of the past as a tool in searching for past and present knowledge. We need to integrate the notion of Virtual Reference Rooms as a central element of our quest for a semantic web.
Logic
tests the truth of something for which a universally true statement is assumed
e.g. scientific laws, business transactions
Here 1-1 links in a closed WWW web are enough.
Culture is a web of many to many links of :
worlds knowledges stories beliefs interpretations meanings traditions
Future Webs need to expand beyond closedclouds of URLS to link with open worlds beyond.
Here a logical system that expects one answer to be true to the exclusion of others in terms of 1-1 misses the point.
Here variant namesvariant versions of stories are fundamental keys to understanding the richness of human expressions.
.
Semantic webs cannot know the truth of a belief, myth or story.
Semantic web can and must establish true links back to the sources beyond the digital web so that individuals and scholars can make their own decisions about level of truth, meaning, correctness of interpretation.
Desideratum 12
We need to integrate different versions, different ways of knowing, different knowledge systems, different “knowledges” into our quest for a semantic web.
Desiderata
1. Omnilinks for Multilayered Searching 2. Omnilinks extended to Physical World 3. Spatio-Temporal Image Capture and Metadata4. Link Digital Physical World with Knowledge 5. Levels of Reality as Search Criterion 6. Goals as a Tool for Search Criteria 7. Thesauri to Augment Personal Terms 8. Historical Classifications and Thesauri 9. Images and Visual Dictionaries as Search Tools
10. Scale as Search Method 11. Virtual Reference Rooms 12. Ways of Knowing and Knowledges.

We need new webs to study these mountains of knowledge and to understand how the Silk and other routes weave their way among them.
In English when the E turns to Xi and joins the T we have= EXIT.
