Jakub Gomułka: The Subject branch of Wittgenstein ontology: the content of the Tractatus
I februar tar Wittgensteinarkivet imot to ny gjesteforskere, Tim Grasshöfer fra Universitetet i Dortmund og Jakub Gomułka fra AGH University of Science and Technology i Kraków. Fra før har vi Filippo Mosca fra Tor Vergata Universitet i Roma, som har vært hos oss siden august 2023 og blir til april 2024. I forbindelse med oppholdene deres vil instituttet, WAB og forskningsgruppen Filosofi og tekstteknologi arrangere en rekke foredrag av gjestene våre. Det første foredraget, presentert av Jakub Gomułka, holdes torsdag 8. februar kl. 13.15-15.00. Han vil også gi et foredrag fredag 16. februar kl. 13.15-15.00. Mer informasjon om det første foredraget finnes nedenfor.
Hovedinnhold
Jakub Gomułka: The Subject branch of Wittgenstein ontology: the content of the Tractatus:
Building upon concepts presented in 2023 (see References below), I am working on filling the Wittgenstein ontology Subject class branch with philosophical content. To be more precise, my goal is to develop an RDF representation of the subject matter of the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. I will present both the general approach to this work and some actual results: parts of the Tractatus translated into RDF triples. I will also demonstrate the workflow and tools I developed to accomplish this task.
What is the purpose of creating a knowledge graph for the philosophical content of Wittgenstein's Tractatus? Indeed, without a practical application, all the effort would be futile. I will demonstrate how my knowledge graph could serve as the foundation of a larger system, enabling users to query Tractarian philosophy in natural language and receive accurate and detailed responses.
I would like to underline that all my ideas are still very provisional and amenable to changes. I am open to any critical remarks and suggestions.
