As I understand it, this is a good example highlighting one major challenge for Linked Data: There can be many ways to describe a concept.


I would say this is by no means a flaw of Linked Data (the Semantic Web approach). There is an essential duality in many domains, including mathematics. For example, we can adhere different approaches to describe the math theory as a whole from the following points of view:

1) Classical (N. Burbaki's approach): Kantor's set theory and logic 2) Constructive: where we are standing on constructive (intuitionistic) logic 3) Univalent foundations of mathematics (a novel approach).

Even if we stick to the 1st approach only (as we did for the ontology), there are also many dualities (alternative definitions), if we apply, say, terminology from geometry or, alternatively, from set theory while describing the same math objects.

Anyway, I think the methodology, we are working on during this project, should clarify many such hidden aspects. And we expect that it will be valuable for the modern math theory itself. So, let's collaborate:)


R isn't in the roadmap?


O'Rielly's 'Think Stats' is freely available in html/pdf online and is quite good.

Currently in redemption period (details below), although it has been more than 75 days. What gives?

Is my best bet paying $49.95 for the Name.com "Domain Nabber" service since they are the registrar?

Status: redemptionPeriod

Registrar: NAME.COM LLC Whois Server: whois.name.com Referral URL: http://www.name.com

Expiration Date: 2012-03-26


Looks like name.com refunds your $ on unsuccessful drop catches.

So I would use their service for sure, plus Snapnames, Pool and Namejet.

A redemption period of 75 days is quite long, but the link above mentions a 77 day window before deletion, so i think youre up to bat very soon for this.domain.

Best of luck!


It would be great if people could speak from experience, rather than citing "Pool.com, Namejet.com, Snapnames.com"


I have tried both Namejet and Snapnames recently. I used Namejet two times to try to get domains that expired and were under redemption. For Namejet you need to place a backorder and state the amount you are willing to pay, though I believe there is a minimum of $70. You do not need to pay upfront and pay only if you win the domain. You just place the backorder wait until the domain is released, when it is released if Namejet is able to get it, Namejet will charge you, provided no one else is bidding on the same domain name. If someone else is bidding on it, the domain will enter an auction. In my case, Namejet was successful for the first domain I backordered. No one else bid on it, so I got it right away. Namejet transfered the domain to eNom, paid the registration fee for 1 year, and gave me the login. The second time I tried Namejet, it failed to get the domain I wanted when the domain was released. I immediately found out that the domain was acquired by Snapnames based on an updated whois entry. Snapnames was conducting an auction on the domain I wanted, which they just acquired. I bid on it and the auction lasted for 3 days. At the end of the auction, there were no other bidders and so I got my domain for the low price of $19, Snapnames' minimum bid for this particular domain. My suggestion would to be to try both Namejet and Sanpnames, since you don't have to pay anything unless you win, though you do need to provide you credit card number. Also, you want to follow the whois records carefully for your domain of interest. I find GoDaddy's domain monitoring service very useful for monitoring whois records for domains I own and for domains I may want to own. It is quite affordable and a very good service. Hope this helps.


I've done this recently. I watched it expire. I checked the redemption times. Then ordered it as soon as it came out of redemption. It was done manually.
