چکیده

We put forward a methodological approach aimed at guiding ontologists in choosing which relations to reify. Our proposal is based on the notions of aggregation, generalization and participation as used in conceptual modelling approaches for database design in order to represent situations that, normally, would require non-binary relations or complex integrity constraints.

Guiding the Representation of n-ary Relations in Ontologies through Aggregation, Generalization and Participation

Our proposal is based on the notions of aggregation, generalization and participation as used in conceptual modelling approaches for database design in order to represent situations that, normally, would require non-binary relations or complex integrity constraints. In order to justify ou...

Application of fundamental relations on n-ary polygroups

The class of  $n$-ary polygroups is a certain subclass of $n$-ary hypergroups, a generalization of D{"o}rnte $n$-arygroups and  a generalization of polygroups. The$beta^*$-relation and the $gamma^*$-relation are the smallestequivalence relations on an $n$-ary polygroup $P$ such that$P/beta^*$ and $P/gamma^*$ are an $n$-ary group and acommutative $n$-ary group, respectively. We use the $beta^*$-...

Quotient G-systems and Green\'s Relations

In this paper, we first introduce the concepts of G-systems, quotient G-systems and isomorphism theorems on G-systems of n-ary semihypergroups . Also we consider the Green's equivalences on G-systems and further in-vestigate some of their properties. A number of n-ary semihypergroups are constructed and presented as examples in this paper.

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...

Properties of fuzzy relations and aggregation process in decision making

In this contribution connections between input fuzzy relations R1, . . . ,Rn on a set X and the output fuzzy relationRF = F(R1, . . . ,Rn) are studied. F is a function of the form F : [0, 1]n → [0, 1] and RF is called an aggregated fuzzyrelation. In the literature the problem of preservation, by a function F, diverse types of properties of fuzzy relationsR1, . . . ,Rn is examined. Here, it is c...
