Byron’s Rhyming Clime

The CLIME Ontology

In the CLIME project a large-scale ontology was developed for the purpose of a web-based legal advice system, MILE (Maritime Information and Legal Explanation, see Figure 1). The system features both extended conceptual retrieval and normative assessment (See [WBBH00] and [WBBB99]) on international rules and regulations regarding ship-classification (Bureau Veritas) and maritime pollution (MARP...

CLIME: An Environment for Constrained Evolution

We are building a software development environment that uses constraints to ensure the consistency of the different artifacts associated with software. This approach to software development makes the environment responsible for detecting most inconsistencies between software design, specifications, documentation, source code, and test cases. The environment provides facilities to ensure that th...

CLIME: Lessons Learned in Legal Information Serving

This paper presents lessons learned from the CLIME project (1998-2001), aimed at improving the access and understanding of large bodies of legal information through the Internet. Our approach involves explicit representation of the content of the legal sources consisting of three types of knowledge: (1) the domain being regulated (a domain ontology); (2) normative statements about the domain; (...

ERP Nonword Rhyming Effects in Children and Adults

In a simple prime-target auditory rhyming event-related potential (ERP) paradigm with adults and 6-, 7-, and 8-year-old children, nonword stimuli (e.g., nin-rin, ked-voo) were used to investigate neurocognitive systems involved in rhyming and their development across the early school years. Even absent semantic content, the typical CNV to primes and late rhyming effect (RE) to targets were evid...
