Contributions to the Ontological Foundation of Knowledge Modelling

چکیده
In the present paper we make some contributions to the emerging eld of so-called ontological engineering. In detail, we discuss the principles underlying knowledge acquisition from an axiomaticdeductive point of view. Then we turn to the notion of an ontology and the connection between ontology and knowledge systems. An ontology comprises ontologically basic relations such as membership, part-whole and inherence. The ontological basic entities are divided into Urelemente and sets, the Urelemente are in turn either individuals or universals. Foremost among the individuals are substances, moments and situations. We outline a knowledge modelling language called GOL, for (General Ontological Language), and we compare it to other languages of this sort.

Contributions to the Axiomatic Foundation of Upper-Level Ontologies
In the present paper we make some contributions to the theory of upper level ontologies. Every domain-speci c ontology must use as a framework some upper-level ontology which describes the most general, domain-independent categories of reality. It turns out that the top-level ontology of the well-known standard modelling languages KIF (Knowledge Interchange Format), F-logic (Frame-Logic), and C...
متن کاملOntologies for Scrutable Student Modelling in Adaptive E-Learning
This paper discusses the problem of inference about core terms in a student model representing a learner’s knowledge, using ontological inference. We try to address the challenge of modelling the student's high level knowledge, based upon user modelling evidence that is associated with fine-grained elements of the model, drawn from the learner’s activity in an online learning system. We also de...

Data mining, also known as knowledge discovery in database, is the process to discover unknown knowledge from a large amount of data. Text mining is to apply data mining techniques to extract knowledge from unstructured text. Text clustering is one of important techniques of text mining, which is the unsupervised classification of similar documents into different groups. The most important step...
متن کاملA Reference Methodology for Conducting Ontological Analyses
The ontological analysis of conceptual modelling techniques is of increasing popularity. Related research did not only explore the ontological deficiencies of classical techniques such as ER or UML, but also business process modelling techniques such as ARIS or even Web services standards such as BPEL4WS. While the selected ontologies are reasonably mature, it is the actual process of an ontolo...
متن کاملLayered Ontological Modelling for Web Service-Oriented Model-Driven Architecture
Modelling is recognised as an essential activity in the architectural design of software systems. Model-driven architecture (MDA) is a framework implementing this idea. Ontologies are knowledge representation frameworks that are ideally suited to support modelling in this endeavour. We propose here a layered ontological framework that addresses domain modelling, architectural modelling, and int...
