Very interesting, thank you!
He talks about ontologies, ontology experts (I don’t know there was such a thing), and “philosophical” issues surrounding ontology. To me the philosophical dilemma revolves around the question: who manages the ontology? A centralized authority, like the W3C? Or your community, using some set of tools for decentralized consensus? The easy answer is to rely upon some centralized authority. But the only way to manage an ontology in a way that does it justice is to let your community manage it. Unfortunately, those tools don’t yet exist. Fortunately, nostr is the crucible where such tools will be born. How? Step 1: personalized WoT relays with Nostr Knowledge Graph powered by neo4j. Step 2: use your nostr WoT to select the experts for any given domain, and give them the power to vote on every entry in the ontology.
