Rough Fuzzies, and Beyond? I thought was a cute title.

But just scratching the surface in the area of rough sets and I find:

  • generalized fuzzy belief functions
  • generalized fuzzy rough approximation operators
  • fuzzy coverings
  • granular computing
  • training fuzzy systems
  • fuzzy generalization of rough sets
  • generalized fuzzy rough sets
  • fuzzy concept lattices
  • fuzzy implication operators
  • intuitionistic fuzzy implicators

How many of those would you think to search for?

Same semantic issues topic maps are designed to help resolve. But, resolving them means someone (err, that would be those of us interested in the area) have to undertake the real work to resolve those semantic issues.

The obvious answer is some robust system that allows tweets, instant messages, email (properly formatted), as well as updating protocols to update a topic map in real time. That is also an unlikely solution.

Suggestion:

What about an easier to reach solution? Lutz Maicher’s bibmap is a likely starting point.

We would have to ask Lutz about merging in additional data but I suspect he would be amenable to the suggestion.

Building a robust bibliography of topic map relevant materials would occupy us while waiting on more futuristic solutions.
