This is where I believe we need a new paradigm that blends symbolic and statistical approaches so that we can use machine learning from large corpora. This is needed to address the incompleteness, uncertainty and inconsistency, something this is inevitable as things scale up massively. As knowledge workers we will become curators and teachers, rather than directly working on knowledge representations. An analogy is translating between human languages where statistical approaches have proved highly effective.
