—that tumor suppressors were genes that needed to be inactivated in both chromosomes—was also found to be widely applicable in cancer.

the source of meaning in transcendence, like their Indian and European contemporaries, Song thinkers found intrinsic value and meaning from the world around them. The conceptual framework developed by the philosophers of the Song dynasty remains relevant to this day and demonstrates remarkable correspondence with modern findings in systems and complexity science

social and natural networks.41 Scientists at the forefront of systems thinking recognize the far-reaching ramifications of their findings. “We are seeking a new conceptual framework that does not yet exist,” writes researcher Stuart Kauffman. However, while this view of nature is relatively new in science, we have seen in this

The Book of Not Knowing: Exploring the True Nature of Self, Mind, and Consciousness

Thoughts, emotions, and behavior are easy to recognize in our experience. What’s far more difficult to see is the source of these—the buried conceptual framework that spurs and dictates our thinking, emotions, and actions. Self-survival has no reason to go there, and every reason to stay away, but with

some concentration and sensitivity, the conceptual framework that drives us becomes increasingly recognizable. 22:31 Such consciousness, however, tends to undermine our exclusive and solid sense of self, because it reveals the

. In our paper, ‘Taking Care of History: Toward a Politics of Provenance Linked Open Data in Museums’ (Rother/Koss/Mariani 2022), we have proposed a conceptual framework for what data to transition into provenance linked open data (PLOD) and on what level of detail. Given its modular structure, the framework enables museum

of information contained within provenance texts and their varying levels of detail in a modular structure. With respect to knowledge extraction from provenance events, this conceptual framework is implemented in practice in the provenance-specific annotation scheme. Both our framework and scheme have flexibility in modelling provenance information, particularly when it Fabio

The conceptual framework introduces a base layer of information to describe the fundamental elements of any given provenance, starting with its backbone, the individual provenance event. Each provenance

Since researchers are producing ever-more provenance information, the PLOD conceptual framework proposes four types of descriptive bricks, so to speak, from which to build a set of relevant facts that have not already been recorded in

all provenance events that have occurred in the state of Virginia. Provenance events represent economic activities, such as buying, selling, or auctioning objects. In our conceptual framework, any additional information concerning these activities, such as identificatory numbers or specific monetary values, is part of the economic brick. For span categorization, we have

to annotate such monetary amounts, we have thus introduced the category ‘money’. The contextual brick is the fourth and final descriptive brick in the PLOD conceptual framework. Provenance texts can describe the larger historical contexts in which individual provenance events occurred. With the category ‘context’, we can annotate portions of text describing

‘British military occupation of Benin’, to name but one example where providing context through annotation may prove useful for questions of restitution. Finally, the PLOD conceptual framework introduces four interpretive tools to help address the interpretative challenges that researchers face when structuring provenance data: vagueness, incompleteness, subjectivity, and uncertainty. Span categorization makes
