Towards an Ontology of Value Ascription
نویسندگان
چکیده
The analysis of value, value ascription mechanisms, and motivating and influencing factors is useful for decision making processes of both customers and providers. In particular, enterprise modeling can greatly benefit from a proper understanding of value-related notions. Nonetheless, existing value models mainly focus on the value exchange between subjects, disregarding the understanding of “what” value is and of “why” something is valuable. In order to exploit the benefits of value analysis, a precise and rigorous conceptualization, based on foundational ontologies, is needed. To this aim, we present and discuss here a preliminary value ascription ontology.

Representation, Realization, and Ascription of Functions for Material Entities
Across many domains entities are described in terms of their functionality, i.e. in terms of functions, which are ascribed to them. We propose an ontological framework, called OF (Ontology of Functions), which provides an expressive formalism to specify the central components of a function and to classify various versions of function ascription. OF is an integral part of GFO; it uses heavily va...
متن کاملQuery Architecture Expansion in Web Using Fuzzy Multi Domain Ontology
Due to the increasing web, there are many challenges to establish a general framework for data mining and retrieving structured data from the Web. Creating an ontology is a step towards solving this problem. The ontology raises the main entity and the concept of any data in data mining. In this paper, we tried to propose a method for applying the "meaning" of the search system, But the problem ...
متن کاملA modal-Hamiltonian interpretation of quantum mechanics
The aim of this paper is to introduce a new member of the family of the modal interpretations of quantum mechanics. In this modal-Hamiltonian interpretation, the Hamiltonian of the quantum system plays a decisive role in the property-ascription rule that selects the definite-valued observables whose possible values become actual. We show that this interpretation is effective for solving the mea...
متن کاملAn Anthropological Approach to the Discovery of Ontologies in Multi-agent Societies
We presented our approach to ascription of intensional ontologies to societies of agents at UKMAS-99. The idea of an intensional ontologies is based on a pragmatic theory of intensionality. The work we presented included a mechanism for retrieving taxonomical relations from the intensional ontologies. Both the process of ascription of ontologies and the retrieval of taxonomical relations were i...
متن کاملConceptual Spaces and Ontological Semantics. Compositionality in Nominal Phrases
Introduction This paper is concerned with reconciling the views of two prominent schools of meaning ascription: Logical compositional semantics in the Montague tradition, characterized by a reduction to set-theoretic constructs, and the cognitive semantics tradition as embodied in Gärdenfors’ conceptual spaces. This is achieved by adapting model-theoretic, Fregean compositional semantics to an ...
