Re: FYI - Semantics2021 talk on chunks as an abstraction above RDF and Property Graphs

Sensors and actuators are like the eyes and hands respectively of human-like cognitive agents that form part of value chains in web-based ecosystems of services.  Reasoning is better modelled at a higher level than the affordances offered by IoT devices. Perception and Action can thus be consider as mappings between lower level and high level models. The slide on cognitive architecture has brief explanations of what’s involved.

Natural language semantics are at the core of human-like reasoning, and as we get better at implementing that, I expect this to revolutionise IT, allowing non-programmers to work with information without needing to involve IT departments. Spreadsheets were an early step in that direction, and in my expectation, they will evolve into “knowledge sheets” that are integrated live with enterprise knowledge graphs. Collaborative cognitive agents will take over from some of the roles of IT staff, freeing the latter to work on services for use by the cognitive agents, in some ways, analogous to third party services that enrich smart web search.

So, if I understood, a Device (e.g. Sensor or Actuator), by instance, can be seen as an 'human-like' agent, so its Observations could be seen as the Perceptions; the historical information as the Emotions; the Reason capability as the Cognition, and the Actions as the Actions in the chunk-model, bringing the Chunks as an upper-model for Sensing and Actioning capabilities of the devices, or, at least, as an abstraction of these.

The workshop is a follow on from the W3C Workshop I organised back in 2019 on Graph Data, and sought to bring back together people from the RDF and Property Graph communities for joint insights on future standards. My talk described chunks as an easy to use abstraction above RDF and Property Graphs, and outlined ideas for web-based tools for integrating popular diagrams formats such as UML and spreadsheets with enterprise knowledge graphs.
