4th International workshop on IEML

Pierre Lévy — 2009-04-30T01:31:38Z

The goal of this workshop is to coordinate the first real world application of IEML that will take place in the "Twittosphere"

Date: 1st and 2nd of may
Time: from 9:30 AM to 5 PM
Place: 30 Stewart Ottawa

AGENDA

the first day, everybody will have 20 mn + 10 mn questions to present what he has done and what he is doing in the project
the rest of the time will be devoted to the coordination / planning of the Twitter application

From Social Computing to Reflexive Collective Intelligence

Pierre Lévy — 2009-04-08T14:31:36Z

The IEML research program promotes a radical innovation in the notation and processing of semantics. IEML (Information Economy MetaLanguage) is a regular language that provides new methods for semantic interoperability, semantic navigation, collective categorization and self-referential collective intelligence. This research program is compatible with the major standards of the Web of data and is in tune with the current trends in social computing.

The paper explains the philosophical relevance of this new langage, expounds its syntactic and semantic structures and ponders its possible implications for the growth of collective intelligence in cyberspace.

Keywords: collective intelligence, IEML, semantic space, semantic tagging, semantic interoperability, metalanguage, web of data, philosophy.

Mathematical Theory of IEML Semantic Space

Pierre Lévy — 2008-12-06T23:58:02Z

Mathematical foundations of IEML

We propose in this article a formal description of IEML, a novel language designed to be used within computational intelligence and collective intelligence domains. Its target applications are :

collaborative semantic tagging (`balisage') of any idea or concept available on the Web (blogs, images, software, documents, data in general) ;

collaborative semantic search, including comparison, merging and navigation ;

interoperable modeling and simulation in social sciences, manage- ment, design, gaming and digital storytelling.

The emphasis is put on the operations that can be performed on IEML expressions. The combination of these operations leads to automatic generation and transformation of IEML expressions and to automatic generation and transformation of semantic networks of IEML expressions.

IEML has been designed with two goals in mind : provide a prac- tically unlimited method of semantic expression while remaining well within the limits of modern computation.
