A syntax/semantic confusion amidst our increasing science data-to-knowledge successes

DOI

Computers have increased the binding between science data and knowledge. However, what current computers can and can’t do is often unclear. This distinction can be clarified by positing that computers are only syntactic engines and that humans are the only semantic engines. It will be asserted that computers can create know-how and know-of knowledge. Although com-puters are very useful is helping humans gain know-that knowledge, but they cannot create know-that knowledge.
