Simon,

I'm sorry to hear that Stamper had died. I had regarded his work over the years as quite respectable.

Most readers are unlikely to click on titles with URLs. But if you include an interesting quotation (one or two paragraphs), they are more likely to click. Perhaps you could elaborate on your note below.

Hi all.

John, thank you for interrelating the multiple semantics and ontology projects in https://jfsowa.com/ikl, a handy resource!

Regarding the article forwarded by Alex, Stamper’s Semiotic ladder would be pertinent:tp://assets.cs.ncl.ac.uk/seminars/101.pdf (and multiple subsequent materials on the subject: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=stampers+semiotic+ladder)

I’ve referred to it in my past work, e.g.:

A Transaction-oriented architecture for enterprise systems - Sheffield Hallam University Research Archive (shu.ac.uk)
Semiotic models of trust and usability for agent-managed Grid services - Sheffield Hallam University Research Archive (shu.ac.uk)

I believe that the late Stamper’s work is underrepresented, but it would be interesting to hear your thoughts.

Thanks!

Simon
