Proposal for a universal formalized language of knowledge

  • Published:
Cybernetics and Systems Analysis Aims and scope

Conclusion

We have provided a theoretical and methodological justification of complete construction of a universal formalized language of knowledge. We have proved the following:

  • the base term classification ensures unambiguous and deep indexation of documents;

  • the fixed sentence syntax makes it possible to standardize information-retrieval languages and automatic translation between languages;

  • the fixed message semantics provides the following opportunities: measuring the semantic information; rating the intensification of intellectual effort; eliminating unjustified duplication of research and publication; providing the user with timely necessary information in a form suitable for direct processing and use; organizing a national cost-efficient communication technology; solving linguistic problems of artificial intelligence and informatization of society; creating a reliable structural foundation for the development of a common unambiguous language for the entire humanity.
