Re: [ontolog-forum] Current Semantic Web Layer Cake

John, Pat, Tim, and who concerned,

The Real Semantic Web might (or will) have a different framework from your 
expectations: instead of Unifying Logic, it will be a Unifying Ontology (a 
single comprehensive model of reality) integrating as its parts the Web 
general vocabularies and ontologies: RDF, RDFS, RULE RIF, OWL, SPARQL, Proof 
and Trust boxes.

To be short, below a selection from the upcoming book: ''Reality, Universal 
Ontology and Knowledge Systems: Towards the Intelligent World'':
''The Real Web is characterized by the web hierarchical structure anchored 
in the real world environment via the ontological groundwork:



<Global Intelligent Cyberspace, or Real Semantic Web> :: = <Ontological 
Framework, WDF, or RMF> <Semiotics> <the World Wide Web, or the Syntactic 
Web>



<Ontological Framework> :: = <Unified Framework Ontology, WDF, or RMF> 
<Upper Level

Ontologies> <Domain Ontologies>



<Semiotics> :: = <Pragmatics> <Semantics> <Syntax>



<Pragmatics> :: = <Users> <Web Agents> <Intentions> <Actions> 
<Communication> < Proof> <Trust> <Truth>



<Semantics> :: = <Signs, Data Type, Natural Language Expressions> < 
Constructs> <Meanings>



<Syntax> :: = <Logical Framework> <Rules> <OWL Ontology> <RDF Schema> <RDF 
M&S>

< RDF> <XML/SGML> <Namespaces>



<the Web>  ::= <Resources, Representation, Identification, URI, Unicode> 
<Interaction, Software Agents, Hypertext links, Protocols, HTTP> <Formats, 
HTML, XHTML>

The central idea of the Real Web is rather simple: without a common standard 
ontology as a common code of meanings and rules, there is no base and 
foundation for the whole enterprise of ontological semantic technology, 
powerful programming tools and applications employing semantic web 
technologies. To be consistent, its creators should fully appreciate the 
hard truth that the semantic web with its technologies and tools postulate a 
complete foundational ontology of anything, known as a single universal, 
global, or master ontology'.''
The real truth is usually very simple.
