Share features or properties (#$isa ?IND ?COL) - 1.2 million
(#$genls ?COL1 ?COL2) - 120 thousand
#$genls is transitive and reflexive Microtheory Time/Space Context Construct
Any assertion is VALID ONLY IN a Microtheory
Why is it necessary?
Assertion: (#$isa #$Cyc #$SoftwareAgent) Indexing efficiency by knowledge isolation
Context assumption - BoulderColorado Context
Consistency enforcement Predicates and Functions #$isa, #$genls are predicates

Predicates relate two or more things

Predicates specify property of things

Predicates arguments are constrained

Functions create new individuals Encyclopedia
Ontology?
Knowledge base? Categories The Good

A lot of "is a", Rivers by country, Basketball players, Phone Companies

A lot of "genls", Geography -> Water bodies -> Streams -> Rivers

A lot of predicates, "Yale Alumni", "Grammy Award winners", "1947 Births"
The Bad

Not "is a" always, Rivers category has "Drainage", "River surfing", "Dams". Mostly "is about"..

Categories used as Microtheories, "US Elections in 2010", "History of Spain"

"Genls" not consistent, Wiki -> Ontology, can't be automated

Category's main article vs category, have same name
The Bad

Global ID lacking, article titles keep changing.

"The Explosive, The BOB, The Chef", overly general synonyms

Disambiguation in title, (band), (politician) vs depth (/artist/band) Freebase type

Search space always global, only seperated by language
Article Title The Good

Mostly equivalent to Individuals, sometimes Collections

Redirects, "article interlinks" are mostly equivalent to synonyms

Mostly about a single topic, event, abstract concept (Bird_Flight)

Each article is an "instance of" a Category Infoboxes/Tables The Good

Huge amount of domain specific info. Tournaments won/ scientific classification

New predicate harvesting - Collective consensus on whats important The Bad

No re-use/heirarchy (genlPred), Snooker/Tennis player, can share basic bio.

No consistency, Snooker: "Nationality", Tennis: "Country"

Not easy to parse. Too many formats for same field, no array (tributaries)

Tables are even less structured, but hold even more information

Article Text The Good

Can't say enough about it. Holds millions of man-hours work. Active community

Tagging[[ | ]], makes disambiguation easy

Millions of assertions, breadth/depth, ontologist's dream

References, makes getting redundancy easier The Bad

Its still geared towards humans

Predicates are not available, not much extra effort to tag #$Orion-Constellation What is it?
