Lavoisier, Gauss and coherent units
The metric system was developed from 1791 onwards by a group of scientists that was commissioned by the Assemblée nationale and Louis XVI of France to create a unified and rational system of measures.[9] The group, which included Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier (the "father of modern…
Life, The Multiverse And Everything: An Introduction To The Ideas Of Humberto Maturana Interpreting Maturana
Simple unity and composite unity
We may distinguish two types of unity or system , namely a Simple Unity or a Composite Unity. When we bring forth a Simple Unity we bring forth an entity characterised as separable from its domain of existence in terms of its properties. It is totally characterised by its…
Nishida Kitarō (stanford Encyclopedia Of Philosophy)
Absolute nothingness
A model of interpretation is relevant: every text has its context, which in turn may be made a text or thematized by appealing to a further context. There is no final context that can be specified without referring to yet another context. For Nishida this relation would not be…
Rdf Primer
Reuse existing vocabularies like Dublin Core
Even then, RDF's use of URIrefs does not solve all identification problems because, for example, people can still use different URIrefs to refer to the same thing. For this reason, it is a good idea to try to use terms from existing vocabularies (such as the Dublin Core) where…
RDF doesn't look inside URIrefs
Using common URI prefixes provides a convenient way to organize the URIrefs for a related set of terms. However, this is just a convention. The RDF model only recognizes full URIrefs; it does not "look inside" URIrefs or use any knowledge about their structure.
A vocabulary is a set of URIrefs
Since RDF uses URIrefs instead of words to name things in statements, RDF refers to a set of URIrefs (particularly a set intended for a specific purpose) as a vocabulary. Often, the URIrefs in such vocabularies are organized so that they can be represented as a set of QNames…
Research Fronts 2014 : 100 Top Ranked Specialties In The Sciences And Social
Price and the scientific research front

Tf–idf - Wikipedia
Tf–idf with citations
The idea behind tf–idf also applies to entities other than terms. In 1998, the concept of idf was applied to citations.[9] The authors argued that "if a very uncommon citation is shared by two documents, this should be weighted more highly than a citation made by a large number…
The Digital Humanities Situation | The Transducer
Digital humanities has a genealogy, not a definition
Let’s be honest—there is no definition of digital humanities, if by definition we mean a consistent set of theoretical concerns and research methods that might be aligned with a given discipline, whether one of the established fields or an emerging…
The Tao Of Topic Maps
A thesaurus is a network of related terms
A thesaurus, on the other hand, emphasizes other aspects of an index. It is basically a network of interrelated terms within a particular domain, and although it will often contain other information (such as definitions, examples of usage, etc.), the key feature of a thesaurus…
Typed associations in a thesaurus
The special thing about associations in a thesaurus (as compared to associations found in a typical index or glossary) is that they are typed. This is important because it makes it possible not only to say that two terms are related, but also how or why they are related. It…
Thesauri Of Historical Periods – A Proposal For Standardization.
Naming periods like biological species
[...] we identify a period concept with the term plus a reference to the first known publication that actually defined it, just as it is good practice in biology (Berendsohn 1995). We propose to create unique preferred terms as in biology (e.g.: Fringilla coelebs Linnaeus…
What Are The Differences Between A Vocabulary, A Taxonomy, A Thesaurus, An Ontology, And A Meta-model?
What a controlled vocabulary is
A controlled vocabulary is a list of terms that have been enumerated explicitly. This list is controlled by and is available from a controlled vocabulary registration authority. All terms in a controlled vocabulary should have an unambiguous, non-redundant definition. This is a…
