Independent data scientist.
I have a background in statistics, methodology and some philosophy of science. The last 10 years I have been working as a data scientist. Before that I have built data systems as a software engineer and solutions architect.
Around 2007 I attempted to build a graph database company aimed at modelling data in motion and data at rest; more or less along the lines of Len Silverston with addition of the modeling of messages. The (time versioned) graph database worked out, and has been used by the Dutch military internally to model ship to shore communication and military base security signals; alas to little profits.
Ontology ("semantics") has been bugging me since then; but the learning curve always kept me from diving in. This year I decided to finally add some ontology to the epistemology, sparked by a critical thinking excursion.
My impression is that ontology is gaining ground (also due to the neuro-symbolic discussion). My focus is on OWL and linked data for its practical applications for now. OWL, although hampered by its pragmatic aims and a rough start, seems to be having somewhat of a reboot.
