As it is well known, Linked Opend Data (LOD) and computational ontologies have great success in the fields of Life Sciences (Biology, Medicine, etc). See e.g. the big LS-cluster at .
However, I wonder why mathematics are – in comparison – covered only sparsely by ontologies or LOD.
Indicators (to the best of my current knowledge):
- https://lod-cloud.net/datasets?search=mathematics retrieves only one result. This links to http://msc2010.org/mscwork/ which seems outdated and contains several broken (404) links.
- Since http://ksl-web.stanford.edu/knowledge-sharing/papers/engmath.html (Gruber and Olsen) there seems to be no attempt for ontological modelling of mathematics as a whole (or at least a significant portion of it).
- https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols/ontologies gives only one hit for "math" (in browser search)
- there is no "math*" tag on https://lov.linkeddata.es/dataset/lov/vocabs?&tag_limit=0 (but there is "biology" or "geography" or "geometry")
Probably there is some (machine-processable) formalization of mathematical knowledge but it seems almost disconnected from the "semantic web" and LOD-bubble.
Questions:
Why is this?Should this be changed?If 2., how?
