Integrating Two Descriptions of Taxonomies with Materialization
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a precise correspondence between two views of taxonomic hierarchies: an intensional view based on concepts and an extensional view based on categories, i.e., subsets of the population of individuals analyzed in terms of these concepts. The correspondence is described with materialization, a generic relationship defined for object-oriented and entity-relationship information models. The paper introduces materialization and shows how it provides a systematic bridge between both views of taxonomies.

Real-World Examples for HCI Instruction
This article examines the use of real-world design examples as an introduction to HCI abstractions for interface design. Computer science undergraduates examined a repository of design cases, descriptions of design flaws in a variety of physical domains. One group developed taxonomies to categorize the cases, basing their categorizations on abstract concepts widely used in the HCI literature, s...
متن کاملLearning to integrate web taxonomies
We investigate machine learning methods for automatically integrating objects from different taxonomies into a master taxonomy. This problem is not only currently pervasive on the Web, but is also important to the emerging Semantic Web. A straightforward approach to automating this process would be to build classifiers through machine learning and then use these classifiers to classify objects ...
متن کاملTextual co-reference annotation: a study on definite descriptions
In the linguistic literature many different uses of definite descriptions are acknowledged and explained (Fraurud 1990, Hawkins 1978, Löbner 1985, Prince 1992). These authors give us taxonomies of the different uses of the definite article. Based on these previous works we ran two experiments in annotating definite description uses whose goals were: 1. to observe the distribution of the differe...
متن کاملUsing Decision Trees and Text Mining Techniques for Extending Taxonomies
Lexical taxonomies have tree-like structures and can thus be extended to become decision trees that serve for their own extension. In this paper, a semi-automatic procedure for extending lexical taxonomies is proposed that makes use of term extraction methods for identifying new concepts and that uses cooccurrence data from large corpora to generate the necessary features (semantic descriptions...
