Context Knowledge Base for Ontology Integration

Ontology integration is a process of matching and merging two ontologies for reasons such as for generating a new ontology, thus creating digital services and products. Current techniques for ontology integration, used for information and knowledge integration, are not powerful enough to handle the semantic and pragmatic heterogeneities. Because of the heterogeneities, the ontology matching and...

Knowledge Base Revision Using Circumscription

In this paper we present a framework of retrospective reasoning to deal with the belief revision problem in knowledge systems. First, a rst-order knowledge base is represented by a set of formulas in a rst order epistemic belief language that contains objective formulas as well as belief formulas. Secondly, we deene the revision operation by applying a form of prioritized circumscription to thi...

Measuring the Knowledge Base

SUMMARY In a reflection of new developments in science and society, Gibbons et al. (1994) proposed to make a distinction between " Mode 2 " and " Mode 1 " types of knowledge production. Whereas " Mode 1 " refers to the traditional shape of science, largely confined within institutional settings, " Mode 2 " is communication driven.
