THE STRATEGY OF MEANING NEGOTIATION IN PRAGMATIC CLASS

A Strategy for Automated Meaning Negotiation in Distributed Information Retrieval

The paper reports on the formal framework to design strategies for multi-issue non-symmetric meaning negotiations among software agents in a distributed information retrieval system. The advancements of the framework are the following. A resulting strategy compares the contexts of two background domain theories not concept by concept, but the whole context (conceptual graph) to the other contex...

Meaning Negotiation as Inference

Meaning negotiation (MN) is the general process with which agents reach an agreement about the meaning of a set of terms. Artificial Intelligence scholars have dealt with the problem of MN by means of argumentations schemes, beliefs merging and information fusion operators, and ontology alignment but the proposed approaches depend upon the number of participants. In this paper, we give a genera...

Meaning Negotiation: an invitation

The development of distributed applications over large networks of computers raises the issue of semantic heterogeneity between autonomously developed sources of information or service providers. If, on the one hand, it is generally recognized that we need a semantic layer to provide more and more complex services, on the other hand it is clear that such a layer requires the ability to “bridge”...
