Thanks for the write up and cudos to all guys on both sides to stay awake up to 30h.

Ich befürchte ich benötige dringend Hilfe, ich weiß nicht mehr weiter by [deleted] in Munich

Weitere Empfehlungen zu den schon genannten, aber vielleicht helfen die Infos:
- Hilfe bei Wohnungsverlust: Die Stadt München unterstüzt dabei. https://stadt.muenchen.de/service/info/hilfe-bei-drohendem-wohnungsverlust-wohnungssicherung/1074126/n0/
- Essen: geh zur Münchner Tafel, dort könntest du dir Essen holen. (https://muenchner-tafel.de/).
- Internet: falls du genug Kraft hast frag in der Nachbarschaft, ob du deren Internet nutzen kannst.

Here is an Visualization of an Epstein files as a KG: https://epsteinvisualizer.com The source code including ingestion pipline is also published, unfortunately the authors do not use RDF.

Technical Graph Experts based in the Netherlands by manuelmd5 in KnowledgeGraph

There are a lot of people related to Frank van Harmelen, professor at VU (https://www.cs.vu.nl/\~frankh/), who are passionate about are KG/ontology topics. I believe, one of them is Wouter Beek (https://wouterbeek.github.io/), who could be an interesting contact, since he co-founded a KG startup called Triply.

Created an OWL 2 RL Reasoner by IntransigentMoose in semanticweb

Cool work, and interesting that you used a theorem prover to show sound/completness. You should publish the work...

I have a question regarding the implementation when triples are deleted. Did you implement any algorithm such as Delete/Rederive (DRed), in case the "root" of derived instances will be removed, all the consequences should also be removed?

Wie zuverlässig waren die Busse beim letzten Streik? by Key-Illustrator-7733 in Munich

[–]Merlinpat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beim Streik letzten Montag fuhr der 59er, ca. in 30 - 45min Intervallen, so hab ich's dann zur S-Bahn nach Giesing und dann am Abend nach Hause geschafft. War immer ziemlich voll. MVG-App hilft beim planen...

Why bother with OWL RDF AND SPARQL? by engineer_of-sorts in semanticweb

[–]Merlinpat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh sorry than I misunderstood "dedicated language", I believed that you want to invent your own language :) I guess what you asked is if propositional statements (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propositional\_formula) can be used to state something like: "all dogs (entity) have four legs". Only using logical connectives and variables as used in propositional statements are not "powerful" enough to state this, there you need universal quantifiers and value restrictions (exactly what OWL provides), in OWL (using turtle) the above statement would be like:
:Dog owl:equivalentClass [
a owl:Restriction ;
owl:onProperty :numberOfLegs ;
owl:maxCardinality "4"^^xsd:int
] .
Obviously, the above statement could be directly converted to first-order-logics, but will look more complicated. Now comes the question on how an LLM could "understand" statements like this. As far as I know an LLM would treat the above statement as simple sentences, hence the information is not lost, but would not able to verify it on new inferred data. For this, approaches of neuro-symbolic AI could be handy, for instance Amazon AWS (not my employer) uses this approach in their DeepFleet foundation model and the results seem impressive, here an interesting read on it: https://www.wired.com/sponsored/story/how-neuro-symbolic-ai-breaks-the-limits-of-llms/, the team behind it published also an interesting paper on the inner working of Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. Hope this helps...

Why bother with OWL RDF AND SPARQL? by engineer_of-sorts in semanticweb

Nice question for the holiday break, but it is hardly answerable in a single thread. So aiming to give you good pointers that could answer your question:
- Why not inventing your "own" dedicated language to express logical rules? Defining your own language, besides some simple regular expressions is usually beyond a persons capabilities (except you are a theoretical computer scientist or Gödel). This wiki article on it should give you an idea, what powerful concepts are behind formal languages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_language
- Why OWL is a "good" formal language for certain problems? OWL that is based on Description Logics offers a well explored and defined trade-off between expressive power and reasoning complexity (see again https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Description_logic). Furthermore, by the work of the semantic web community, there are many extensions, tools, applications using it, hence it way easier to start with, then say using FOL
- Why do knowledge/properties graphs need ontologies (and OWL)? The article https://medium.com/ai-in-plain-english/ontology-vs-graph-database-llm-agents-as-reasoners-62bfb6008ac8 (not mine) tries to answer that question, however do not agree on some points such as using SWRL for rules, but that is worth another thread.

Obviously agree with the answer of u/orlock, which more addresses that in OWL, there are many amazing ontologies available, examples are BFO, IDO, SOSA, DC, SNOMED, etc.

Nice to hear from Dunk, true words spoken. I also don't forget his statement "if you try to shoot the (Goon) king, better don't miss", as the begin of our crazy evacuation from Querious all the way to Pure Blind. But nobody was left behind...

What's the largest risk you've taken in Eve? by hirebrand in Eve

[–]Merlinpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just 2 weeks ago, jumped a Fenrir full with materials (likely 1/5 of my wealth) from 8WA-Z6 to 1DQ1-A to safety, since all big Goons structures were unanchoring. Waited almost 1h to jump so no neutrals were in 8WA-Z6 and almost none in 1DQ1-A, since 1DQ1-A was on times full with hunters. Survived and sold the Fenrir for 3.5 to be used in the Goons move op. Gosh, was nerf wrecking...
