Graph-Based Formalisms for Knowledge Representation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Graph-based formalisms provide an intuitive and easily understandable vehicle for knowledge representation. In this paper several existing graph-based formalisms are described. Furthermore, a new graph-based formalism for knowledge representation is defined. Basic concepts for graphical representation (nodes and links) as well as their variation are described. Context node, context link and process node are defined in order to represent different kinds and levels of knowledge. A knowledge network diagram defined from sentences expressed in natural language is presented. The main goal of this formalism is to present knowledge stored in textual fields in the databases.

Relationships with other Formalisms
In this chapter, we are concerned with the relationship between Description Logics and other formalisms, regardless of whether they were designed for knowledge representation issues or not. We concentrated on those representation formalisms that either (1) had or have a strong influence on Description Logics (e.g., modal logics), (2) are closely related to Description Logics for historical reas...
متن کاملA categorical approach to time representation first study on qualitative aspects
The qualitative time representation formalisms are considered from the viewpoint of category theory. The representation of a temporal situation can be expressed as a graph and the relationship holding between that graph and others (imprecise or coarser) views of the same situation are expressed as morphisms. These categorical structures are expected to be combinable with other aspects of knowle...
متن کاملConceptual Structures Represented by Conceptual Graphs and Formal Concept Analysis 1 Conceptual Structures in Knowledge Representation
Conceptual Graphs and Formal Concept Analysis have in common basic concerns: the focus on conceptual structures, the use of diagrams for supporting communication, the orientation byPeircès Prag-matism, and the aim of representing and processing knowledge. These concerns open rich possibilities of interplay and integration. We discuss the philosophical foundations of both disciplines, and analyz...
متن کاملThe Conceptual Graph Formalism as a Backend Representation for the Semantic Web: A Metamodel for RDF Schema
The semantic Web entails the standardization of representation mechanisms so that the knowledge contained in a Web document can be retrieved and processed on a semantic level. RDF seems to be the emerging encoding scheme for that purpose. However, there are many different sorts of documents on the Web that do not use RDF as their primary coding scheme. It is expected that many one-to-one mappin...
متن کاملSimple Conceptual Graphs and Simple Concept Graphs
Sowa’s Conceptual Graphs and Formal Concept Analysis have been combined into another knowledge representation formalism named Concept Graphs. In this paper, we compare Simple Conceptual Graphs with Simple Concept Graphs, by successively studying their different syntaxes, semantics, and entailment calculus. We show that these graphs are almost identical mathematical objects, have equivalent sema...
