SEMANTIC INFORMATION AND INTELLIGENCE

Abstract：According to my opinion, Intelligence means Information Processing and Information is made up of Modal Information and Semantic Information. The two sides are quite different from each other. As we all know, the concept of (Modal) Information based on the view of Hartley and Shannon is well-defined. But the problem is that the concept of “Semantic Information is ill-defined and subjective ”.I think that this view of (Semantic) Information is according to Wiener ’s opinion of that the World is made of Mass, Energy and Information. And now we know that the Physical World is made of Mass and Energy with the view of Time and Space, and we also know that the Informational World is made of Concept, Symbol (including the software as the form of Thing) and their Relation [1].So the point of my view on Semantic Information and Intelligence in this paper is that Intelligence is showing how the main body along with their agents from the Modal Information Processing to the Semantic Information Processing or the other way round. The phrases of Common Information and Especial Information have been used to refer to Semantic Information rather than Modal Information. That ’s why I use I = D –K [2] to refer to Semantic Information for Co-Intelligence System (CIS). According to the Information Formula, Semantic Cube and Web can be built much easier by CIS.

Keywords：Semantic Information, Co-Intelligence System (CIS), Information Formula, Semantic Cube, Semantic Web.

[2] MY NEW VIEW ON SEMANTIC INFORMATION——Information Formula On General Information Science （Difference Between Lexical Semantics And Logical Semantics ）(GIS Corpus 2005 China )Abstract: Somebody said: Semantic Information is ill-defined and subjective. It is quite different from my new view on Semantic Information which is based on the view of Information by Hartley-Shannon and the view of Semantic Information by the others. According to Theory on One’s Cooperating with Computer, I come to the conclusion that Hartley-Shannon’s “Information” is “Data” while the others is “Knowledge”, for Data within a Data-Base or One’s Brain only including Information and Knowledge. So I understood that Information Formula on General Information Science is: I = D - K and it means that Information equals to the Residual Data or equals to the Knowledge being about to acquire; Broadly Sensed Information must include Data, Narrowly Sensed Information and Knowledge. According to my experience on the study of Semantics, we should think much of the most Basic Semantic Problems on Lexical Semantics and on Logical Semantics discussed thoroughly by Linguists and by Logicians, especially by Computational Linguists recently. Semantic Information should be re-discussed by using Information Formula on General Information Science. Keywords：Semantic ，Information ，Data ，Knowledge
