Representation of Semantic Knowledge with Term Subsumption Languages
نویسندگان
چکیده
One problem in the design of a lexicon for natural language processing is the representation of semantic knowledge. We examine the adequacy of knowledge representation formalisms developed in artificial intelligence, in particular of term subsumption languages for these issues. In order to derive some basic requirements for a suitable representation language we analyze a number of definitions of a monolingual dictionary.

Generalizing Term Subsumption Languages to Fuzzy Logic
During the past decade, knowledge representation research in AI has generated a class of languages called term subsumption languages (TSL), which is a knowledge representation formalism with a well-defined logic-based semanticsDue to its formal semantics, a term subsumption system can automatically infer the subsumption relationships between concepts defined in the system. However, these system...

متن کاملAn Interactive Visual Language for Term Subsumption Languages
A visual language is defined equivalent in expressive power to term subsumption languages expressed in textual form. To each knowledge representation primitive there corresponds a visual form expressing it concisely and completely. The visual language and textual languages are intertranslatable. Expressions in the language are graphs of labeled nodes and directed or undirected arcs. The nodes a...
متن کاملIntegrating Rules in Term Subsumption Knowledge Representation Servers
This paper addresses the integration of services for rule-based reasoning in knowledge representation servers based on term subsumption languages. As an alternative to previous constructions of rules as concept→concept links, a mechanism is proposed based on intensional roles implementing the axiom of comprehension in set theory. This has the benefit of providing both rules as previously define...
