Quo Vadis, CS? - On the (non)-Impact of Conceptual Structures on the Semantic Web

Abstract. Conceptual Structures is a field of research which shares abstract concepts and interests with recent work on knowledge representation for the Semantic Web. However, while the latter is an area of research and development which is rapidly expanding in recent years, the former fails to participate in these developments on a large scale. In this paper, we attempt to stimulate the Conceptual Structures community to catch the Semantic Web train. 1 Status Quo It is a fact that mainstream Semantic Web (SW) developments currently happen with only little impact from the Conceptual Structures (CS) community. This is a curious development as Semantic Web knowledge representation is closely related to CS research. While CS certainly profits from the SW hype – as do many areas in computer science – we believe that the full potential for the transfer and use of CS methods and technologies is not given enough credit by the community. With this somewhat provocative position paper, we ...
