My name is Brandon Wirick, and I
discovered Lojban a few weeks ago. I had been wanting to find or
create a logical language for about ten years, so I natually think
Lojban is just about the best thing ever. I intend to become fluent.
I am finishing up my masters at California Polytechnic State
University, and since I have found Lojban, I decided that I would
like to incorporate it into the work I am doing for my thesis. I am
working with the XML-based ontology description language OWL, which is
primarily used to describe concepts and their relationships on the
web. As far as I can tell, no one has yet created an ontology for
Lojban terms, so I would like to create one and promote it as a
standard for concept representation on the web. Gismu and lujvo would
provide a rich base for the ontology, but users everywhere could
extend it with words from any language. This could not only help the
Lojbangirz gain some recognition, but the Semantic Web effort as
well.
I'm looking for people who would be able to help me
get this project off the ground. I'm good with XML and OWL, but not
familiar with the intricacies of Lojban. I have a working prototype
ontology that I can demonstrate to anyone who is interested.
