【 摘 要 】

The explosion of semantic data on the information web, and within digital philosophy, requires new techniques for orga- nizing and linking these knowledge repositories. These must address concerns about consistency, completeness, mainte- nance, usability, and pragmatics, while reducing the cost of double experts trained both in ontology design and the target domain. Folksonomy approaches address concerns about usability and personnel at the expense of consistency, completeness, and maintenance. Upper-level formal ontolo- gies address concerns about consistency and completeness, but require double experts for the initial construction and maintenance of the representation. At the Indiana Phi- losophy Ontology (InPhO) Project, we have developed a general methodology called dynamic ontology, which alle- viates the need for double experts, while addressing con- cerns about consistency, completeness and change through machine learning over a domain corpus, and concerns about usability and pragmatics through human input and seman- tic web standards. This representation can then be used by other projects in digital philosophy, such as the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (SEP) and PhilPapers, along with resources outside of digital philosophy enabled by the
