Topic:
Toward a Structured Applied Epistemology
Ontologies are now widely used for organizing knowledge.  Indeed, we have been developing ontologies with rich semantics to provide direct representation digital libraries.  However, most ontologies do not readily support the development and organization of new knowledge.  By comparison to ontology, epistemology includes the acquisition of knowledge and justifications for it.  Because we aim to develop frameworks for capturing knowledge across several scholarly domains, we address a structured applied epistemology that is closely integrated with ontologies.  We consider the use of applied epistemology for highly-structured scientific research reports based on direct representation and for highly-structured descriptions of historical events.

We welcome anyone interested to join us at the historical Bizzell library room 100 at 11 AM on Feb 13th, 2017.
