Questions for Vinay Chaudhri

In catching up with my reading list, I also found Vinay's  interesting work
on comparing textbooks-
Vinay is on this list, and we had a brief phone call when this group
started, but only now
I get to the papers, so I finally get to ask Vinay a question or two

Vinay, I read with interest this article, because I am in the process of
comparing the content of text books on KR and finding your comparison
method and conclusion useful,
https://jbiomedsem.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/2041-1480-5-51#Sec8

In particular, the guiding questions
For these textbooks, we investigated the following questions:
(1) To what extent is knowledge shared between the different textbooks?
(2) To what extent can the same upper ontology be used to represent the
knowledge found in different textbooks?
(3) To what extent can the questions of interest for a range of textbooks
be answered by using the same reasoning mechanisms?


However, the requirements section of your article does not address
requirements as I consider such
for example  ''adequacy of representation" (various references) is my top
requirement for KR

There is ample literature in ontology evaluation, which sets criteria for
KR requirements
which are not remotely mentioned in your article, for example Grubers

While I set out to leverage in part your approach, and possibly modify it,
I wonder if the gulf between our worlds is because I come from software
engineering, while you come from computer science, or what

Thanks

PDM
