Scope note

Text

An instance of digital reading is a digital processing event guided by a set of instructions or parameters which in turn returns a digital output. The digital output will consist in a set of propositions related to the 'read' input which might include things like classifications, identifications, transformations, comparisons and so on. In the context of semantic data processes, such output might consist in semantically encoded knowledge graph statements, the collection of which may be referred to as an I4 Propositional Set, which can be regarded as the 'conclusion' of the digital reading. As such, Digital reading may be regarded as a computational process guided by a parametrized hypothesis resulting in a new propositional dataset for scientific consideration. The propositional information generated by the digital reading process should be considered as provisional knowledge posited under a hypothesis. Typically propositions generated by the digital reading may become the subject of further scholarly research.

Instances of this class come to be when a process is initiated to generate new information and finish upon completion of that process or if the process is interupted and fails to complete.
