Towards arrow-theoretic semantics of ontologies: conceptories
نویسنده
چکیده
In context of efforts of composing category-theoretic and logical methods in the area of knowledge representation we propose the notion of conceptory. We consider intersection/union and other constructions in conceptories as expressive alternative to category-theoretic (co)limits and show they have features similar to (pro-, in-)jections. Then we briefly discuss approaches to development of formal systems built on the base of conceptories and describe possible application of such system to the specific ontology.

SEMilarity: Towards a Model-Driven Approach to Similarity
Enabling the Semantic Web requires solving the semantic heterogeneity problem, for which ontology matching methods have been proposed. These methods rely on similarity measures that are mainly focused on terminological, structural and extensional properties of the ontologies. Semantics rarely play a direct role on the ontology matching process, albeit some algorithms have been proposed. On the ...
متن کاملChapter Ten towards a Programming Language Ontology
We examine the role of semantic theory in determining the ontology of programming languages. We explore how different semantic perspectives result in different ontologies. In particular, we compare the ontological implications of set-theoretic versus type-theoretic semantics. Key terms: Philosophy of computer science Related terms: Mathematical logic, type theory
متن کاملA Model Theoretic Semantics for Distributed Ontologies that Accounts for Versioning
We show that the Semantic Web needs a formal semantics for the various kinds of links between ontologies and other documents. We provide a model theoretic semantics that takes into account ontology extension and ontology versioning. Since the Web is the product of a diverse community, as opposed to a single agent, this semantics accommodates different viewpoints by having different entailment r...
متن کاملA Category Theoretic Model of RDF Ontology
Ontology languages are used in modelling the semantics of concepts within a particular domain and the relationships between those concepts. The Semantic Web standard provides a number of modelling languages that differ in their level of expressivity and are organized in a Semantic Web Stack in such a way that each language level builds on the expressivity of the other. There are several problem...
متن کاملInstitutes: A simpler semantics for heterogeneous ontologies
We consider heterogeneous ontologies, i.e. ontologies whose specifications allow to blend different ontology languages such as propositional logic, OWL, first-order logic, Common Logic, or various extensions of these. In order to give such ontologies a precise formal semantics, we need a suitable notion of abstract logic. We here introduce a new framework, called institute theory, that extends ...
