Dear All, Please pardon the distraction - but I noticed this thread esp. 'outdated social models' and have a general query. Within healthcare (as a nurse), I study a generic conceptual framework: https://hodges-model.blogspot.com 'semantic'https://hodges-model.blogspot.com/search?q=semantic I am trying - as a non-mathematician(!) - to look at this framework (Hodges' model) as a mathematical object, seeking to pass on this 'twinned'-baton + to more capable researchers. Discovering category theory, I note: 1. 'Applied category theory' https://www.appliedcategorytheory.org/ Which is still (understandably) still vested in maths, logic, formalisms. It would be marvellous for Hodges' model for 'applied' here to be closer to the humanities, sociological and psychological fields. There are postive signs - as per: Nina Otter: "(Co)algebraic analysis of social systems: from graphs to hypergraphs"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnBg4haKyF0 Sallach, D.L.

I wondered if category theory (which is 'in vogue' at present?) could / is informing your efforts to update social models in OWL2.. and the semantic web more generally? Many thanks in advance.
