Symbiotic Relationship Between Software, Knowledge, and Cognitive Problem/Work

A symbiotic relationship, symbiosis, exists between software, knowledge, and a cognitive problem/work which a subject matter expert is trying to solve/get done.  It seems as though if these four things are not properly matched it is hard to see the value of the software and/or the machine understandable knowledge.

People tend to associate symbiotic relationships with biological organisms.  However, in general terms, a symbiotic relationship refers to an evolved interaction or close interconnection between not only organisms of different species but other "interconnections".  For example:
  • Business partnerships: Companies often form symbiotic relationships in the form of business partnerships in order for both parties to thrive.  One example is a supplier/retailer relationships that benefit both parties.
  • Human relationships: Humans create friendships to support each other emotionally, socially, and/or intellectually.
  • Search engines and users: Search engines offer information and users of the search engine get answers to their questions.
What I am noticing is that if all of these pieces are not put together in a manner that subject matter experts (SMEs) can "touch and feel", they don't tend to understand the potential of the software or of the machine understandable knowledge.

Albert Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”  Just because something does not exist right now does not mean that it will never exist.

Microsoft CEO: "AI Agents will Replace All Software"

Image
We have entered the "agentic era"; the era of the agent or intelligent software agent . Others refer to this as the "algorithmic economy".  Maybe think many very intelligent  microservices  exchanging information with each other and can work globally. In an interview with BG2, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella predicts that (paraphrasing) SaaS (software as a service) is dead and that AI agents will replace all software. The entire interview is the first link in "Additional Information" below.  These three videos provide a focused look at this statement: LinkedIn post including short video AI Insights Explorer video  (Microsoft CEO Predicts: "AI Agents Will Replace ALL Software") Microsoft CEO's Shocking Prediction: "Agents will replace ALL software" Here is my personal interpretation of what Satya Nadella is saying and what it means.  First, Nadella says that we are "on the brink of a monumental shift".  I agree with that statem...

New Tool for Accountants, Auditors, Analysts

Image
A new type of tool will be available (is becoming available) to support professional accountants.  This tool is somewhat similar to the traditional electronic spreadsheet but it works differently and provides different capabilities to professional accountants. This new tool will supplement the arsenal of tools available to accountants, auditors, and analysts. This new tool is semantic oriented, model-based, and a global standard technical format.  To describe this tool in the past I have used the terms " modern spreadsheet " and " professional knowledge graph " and " deductive apparatus " and " semantic oriented accounting and audit working papers " and " knowledge product " and " logical spreadsheet " and " logic programming " and " logical digital twin of financial reports ". This new type of tool will help usher in modern accountancy . In this new era, machines will support accountants, auditors, and ana...

Named Graphs

Image
A named graph is a concept in the Semantic Web architecture where a set of Resource Description Framework ( RDF ) statements (a graph) are identified using an internationalized resource identifier ( IRI ). This allows for descriptions to be made about that set of statements, such as context, provenance information, or other metadata. In an RDF database, a named graph is essentially a subset of data that has been given a unique label (referred to as a name). A graph database can contain multiple named graphs alongside its default graph, and each fact can be present in or absent from any graph. Named graphs form a patrician of information that can be used. Named graphs are useful for managing sets of RDF data within an RDF store, enabling fine-grained access control, and managing chains of provenance for pieces of data.
