IEML (Information Economy Meta-Language) is an open source artificial method to represent the semantic content of a linguistic sign. It was designed by Pierre Lévy as an Open collaboration project as part of his works on Collective intelligence[1][2][3] in order to encode meaning in a computer readable way. Its design is based on mathematics and logic abstractions but with a clear inspiration from the organic structure of natural languages.[4]

Overview

The goal of the IEML system is to make real-world data machine-readable. It proposes a standard representation that enables the mapping of semantic representations with the data in a computer-friendly way.[5][6]

IEML's design starts with a small amount of primary concepts are arranged in a matrix and composed together in order to create new and slightly more complex concepts, which can be arranged in a new matrix and composed to form even more complex ones, and so on.[7] The arrangement in the form of a matrix and its fractal design make the representation easy to manipulate, quick when calculating the distance between concepts and simple to encode.[8] Each element in each matrix has a unique representation that easily indicates both its location and content.[9] To maintain the integrity of the system, every public submission must pass an automatic analogical verification and must be reviewed by a reliable reviewer before being incorporated or updated into the system.

Challenges

IEML bypasses important challenges of the Semantic web and other semantic representation systems such as vagueness, uncertainty, inconsistency.[10][11] Some of the challenges for IEML include readability, annotation and adoption. Systems that use IEML must deal with these issues in order to work as intended.[12]

  • Readability: In order to be computer-readable and semantically connected the system cannot use any one natural language as a representation, which makes it more difficult to be read by a human. Still, the metadata of each element allows user-suggested translations from the IEML concept to any given natural language.
  • Annotation: Until more advanced tools are implemented, annotation must be made manually.
  • Adoption: In order to grow and improve, the system depends on having an increasing number of users and submitters.
