Re: [ontolog-forum] RDF finally has its long awaited Generic Client!

Alex,

Wolfram and others make an important check to avoid those errors.

Wolfram translates questions or commands in ordinary English to their precise formal notation.  Then  before they execute the formal version, they translate it back to a precise statement in Controlled English.  

The CE text looks like English, and it can be read as English.    But it has a precise, formally defined translation to and from Wolfram's formal notation.

Many systems, including our Permion Inc. systems do that.  They either provide an exactly correct answer, or they carry on a dialog to help the human user specify a request that can be processed by exact formal methods.

The final answer is exactly correct reply to the formally defined Controlled English.  

Errors are still possible, but they are the fault of the human user who may not understand the CE reply.  That can be corrected by giving the users more options for asking further questions before making a commitment to one particular answer.

Hi Kingsley,

A good article about using RDF and user interface functionality. But I believe that any information generated by LLM should be marked "May contain errors."
So all those beautiful tables, diagrams, and documents should display this sign prominently.

For me, user interface functionality that reflects the power of RDF is more important.

Best regards,

Alex

Hi Everyone,
It’s been a while!
Something important is happening right now, thanks to the emergence of LLMs as the long-awaited generic RDF client (the so-called “killer app”). We all know how Mosaic → Mozilla/Netscape made HTML and HTTP globally usable by end-users and developers alike. Well, the very same thing is finally happening with RDF—albeit some 20+ years later than expected.
Here’s a post I recently published on LinkedIn about this critical development:
