The Sam Cooke Lectures

In this episode, Peter is joined by Gabby Santos, an enterprise ontology manager and author of a PhD in ontology matching.

The podcast serves as a beginner's guide to digital ontologies and covers the basics of what they are, how to get them to talk to each other and some practical applications of this computer science. Along the way we touch upon chunky Brazilian legend Ronaldo, the difference between dogs and cats (woof!) and the pharmaceutical industry.

"It’s quite formal but it’s a relatable subject that even if you don’t have the software you can get an understanding of the way ontologies work by having a read."

"Two robots learn how to move their own bodies by themselves, and go on to teaching each other their own language."
