Interesting summary from Leonid Ototsky of Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel Works
(via Danny's Blog) of technical directions in e-style information integration.
Not surprisingly Leonid makes reference to his adopting the EPISTLE information model, as well as
numerous references to his recently deceased inspiration - Stafford Beer. More
interesting in this context are his references to Norbert Wiener’s “Cybernetics
and Society" and to Principia Cybernetica (See sidebar).
Interestingly too, is the machine
translation of Leonid's "IT Strategy for a New Century" paper,
hosted by the SUO (Standard Upper
Ontology) project. This group organised uder IEEE, is already linked on my
resources page, where I had previously seen them as thrashing around from first
principles somewhat - worth a second look.
What a tangled web we weave. [Must communicate with Leonid / SUO.]
