NYPD is canceling its Palantir contract

I have friends that work there and say the same thing.

I turned down a job there a long time ago, I did ontologies academically so I already knew they didn't work for what they were trying to do.

What's 'ontologies academically'?

I'd shorten that to "what's 'ontologies'"? I did a class on Semantic Web, and spend a fair amount of time reading articles (and a book) about that, and I still don't have any clue what exactly do they mean by "ontology"... It's like the meaning of this word somehow escapes my mind.

No the OP, but it probably means he did a lot of work in semantic web stuff.

My guess would be "knowledge models".
