Definability and Process Ontologies

نویسنده

  • Michael Grüninger
چکیده

In this paper, we use the notions of relative interpretations and definable models from mathematical logic to compare different ontologies and also to evaluate the limitations of particular ontologies. In particular, we characterize the relationship between the theories within the first-order PSL Ontology and two other ontologies – a first-order theory of time and Reiter’s second-order axiomatization of situation calculus.

Relative Definability in Formal Ontologies

The paper investigates technical meta-logical notions and theorems relating to definitions and relative definability and shows how these are relevant to the concerns of knowledge representation. In particular they can be used to identify sets of primitives that are sufficent to fully describe a given domain. Fundamental definability theorems of Tarski are examined, and it is shown how these can...

بررسی هستان شناسی های توسعه یافته مبتنی بر اصول هستان شناسی های منبع باز زیست پزشکی

Background and Aim: Ontologies facilitate data integration, exchange, searching and querying. Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) Foundry is a solution for creating reference ontologies. In this foundry, the design of ontologies is based on established principles which allow for their interactions as a single system. The purpose of this study is to determine the main features of ontologies develop...

Computing Minimal Definition Signatures in Description Logic Ontologies

The ability to rewrite defined ontological entities into syntactically different, but semantically equivalent forms is an important property of Definability. While rewriting has been extensively studied, the practical applicability of currently existing methods is limited, as they are bounded to particular Description Logics (DLs), and they often present only theoretical results. Moreover, thes...
