Connecting\, here\, means not only cross-identifying the individuals referred to in different sources\, but also combining in useful ways all the data about such individuals. Ontologies allow analysts to harvest combinable information from messy inputs by providing consistent sets of terms for describing the entities involved. Suppose\, for example\, that ontology terms have been used to tag collections of heterogeneous source data about\, say\, persons in Baghdad. Analysts can then use the results to identify all available data regarding\, say\, persons who speak Armenian\, or persons with expertise in Java programming; and they can do this independently of the type of data (text\, images\, audio)which served as inputs. To be effective\, however\, ontologies need to contain not just terms but also definitions. To illustrate how this works we will consider some simple examples of ontology building\, concluding with an ontological approach to the definition of terrorism. \nShort Bio:\nBarry Smith studied philosophy in Oxford and Manchester\, and currently works in the University at Buffalo\, NY\, where he is Director of the National Center for Ontological Research. Smith’s work in applied ontology is well known especially in the fields of biology and medicine\, but his ideas are now being applied in a range of different military and intelligence initiatives. He has worked also on ontology projects relating to legal and economic institutions\, and since 2000 he has served as consultant to Hernando de Soto\, Director of the Institute for Liberty and Democracy in Peru\, on projects relating to the advancement of property and business rights among the poor in developing countries.

According to this usage adopted here\, possession refers to control of a resource\, but property involves legally sanctioned rights. Strikingly\, prominent foundational accounts of the ‘economics of property rights’ concentrate on possession\, downplaying the issue of legitimate legal rights (Alchian\, 1965\, 1977; Barzel\, 1994\, 1997\, 2002; von Mises\, 1981). Some authors in this genre make a distinction between ‘economic rights’ and ‘legal rights’ where the former are more to do with possession or the capacity to control. They argue that ‘economic rights’ are primary and more relevant for understanding behaviour. But it is argued here that legal factors – involving recognition of authority and perceived justice or morality – have also to be brought into the picture to understand human motivation in modern societies\, even in the economic sphere. As other authors including Hernando De Soto (2000) have pointed out\, the neglect of the legal infrastructure that buttresses property has deleterious implications\, including a failure to understand the role of property in supporting collateralized loans for innovation and economic development. \n‘Putting finance in its place: Marx\, Keynes and the interstate system ‘ by Bill Dunn (University of Sidney) \nAbstract: The paper argues that Marxist theories of money and finance remain underdeveloped and can be enriched by a critical appropriation of Keynesian insights. It advocates a theory of money and finance based on the mutual but asymmetrical interrelations of class\, capital and state institutions. It argues that accepting a Marxist epistemology and the conceptual priority of social relations of production requires rather than denies acknowledging an active financial agency. However\, this agency is socially constructed and constrained. With the appropriate conceptual level of ‘the social’ seen as essentially global\, this also involves\, amongst other things\, discarding the exogenous / endogenous distinction but seeing states and their financial power\, like that of other institutions\, as framed within rather than as external to the social relations of production. \nHow to find us: The seminar takes place at Penryhn Road Campus (Kingston upon Thames\, Surrey\, KT1 2EE).
