Verbatim of motivations

    About knowledge modelling and sharing

    • Foster capability to share and democratize access to ontologies and to the methodologies needed to govern knowledge models,
    • Allow advancing semantic interoperability by establishing shared guidelines and consistent modeling rules across industries and organizations.
    • Develop methodologies for better ontology modeling within SLS,
    • Bridge semantic web and AI to make both more powerful together.

    About the SLS open-source platform

    • Promote  what has been achieved so far with SousLeSens so that precise, rigorous tooling of W3C standards becomes accessible to everyone:
    • Regard the SLS platform as a pivotal tool for embedding best practices in knowledge engineering;  bridge the gap between technical ontology development and practical, user-friendly applications, enabling non-experts to intuitively leverage semantic technologies and fostering collaboration while reducing redundancy to drive sustainable innovation in industrial and academic ecosystems,
    • Fill the need for knowledge models that are accessible to both professionals and machines,
    • Strengthen the link between humans and machines through structured knowledge,
    • SLS, as an integrated tool covering significant aspects of knowledge engineering, can bring to the field of knowledge management what spreadsheets did at the beginning of the development of office computing: a tool for democratizing new functionalities,
    •  Make SLS a robust and reliable tool.

    About a community involvement

    • Grow a large, active user community around SLS,
    • Lower the barrier to semantic web technologies for technical professionals,
    • Fostering a wider ecosystem and community for better collaboration around semantic-web technologies and their shared, open applications for mutual benefits.

    About philosophical foundations

    • Humanity shall overpass the civilization that always disappears (Egyptians, Romans, Mayas), and a sustainable way of transmitting knowledge and know-how  is thus needed, but neither AI based nor engraving stones.

    About intellectual foundations

    • Relying on solutions built by mathematicians “playing with” statistical approaches is not satisfactory to address all “expected answers” we need in our today world, disregarding CPU/GPU requirements and capacities.

    About industrial ambitions

    • Most industrial companies are under-educated on above challenges, and it is our mission to give them advice and oversight.
