Topic: Wizard (disambiguation)

	Wizard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the 15th century, the term "wizard" referred to "philosopher, sage", from Middle English wysard (from wys "wise" and the -ard suffix also in drunkard etc.) The semantic restriction to "sorcerer, magician" occurred in the 16th century.

		In the Middle-earth legendarium, "wizard" is a term applied only to the five members of the Order of the Istari; the term "wizard" could never be applied to a human, and a human magic user is simply called a sorcerer or witch.

		Ambiguation and Disambiguation are two opposite operations which are foundational capabilities that expand the power of the OrbSuite™ further into the HIP domain as envisioned by Dr. Paul S Prueitt and outlined by many OntologyStream Inc. (OSI) papers and presentations.
		The disambiguation encoding is complimentary to the transparent encoding available for ambiguation, and is similar in that it allows ambiguation operations to occur without having to re-generate the Orb or have access to the original text set used to create the Orb.
		By enabling ambiguation and disambiguation operations to occur within the Orb system, we provide the end user with a better capability to manage the conceptual content held within Orbs, and narrow/refine result sets according to their specific domain of application as part of the HIP process.
