The Logic of Inheritance in Frame Systems

نویسنده

  • Gerhard Brewka
چکیده

This paper shows how the semantics of frames with exceptions can be described logically. We define a simple (purely declarative) frame language allowing for mult iple inheritance and meta classes (i.e. the instances of a class may be classes themselves). Expressions of this language are translated into first order formulas. Circumscript ion of a certain predicate in the result ing theory yields the desired semantics. Our approach allows the in tu i t ion that subclasses should override superclasses to be represented in a very natura l way.

Well-Founded Optimism: Inheritance in Frame-Based Knowledge Bases

F-logic is a popular formalism for knowledge-intensive applications and, especially, for ontology management in Semantic Web. However, the original F-logic’s semantics for inheritance suffers from a number of anomalies when inheritance and deduction closely interact. This work rectifies this problem and develops a natural model-theoretic semantics for inheritance in frame-based knowledge bases,...

Inheritance in Rule-Based Frame Systems: Semantics and Inference

Knowledge representation languages that combine rules with object-oriented features akin to frame systems have recently attracted a lot of research interest, and F-logic is widely seen as a basis to achieve this integration. In this paper we extend the original F-logic formalism with an array of salient features that are essential for representing and reasoning with commonsense knowledge. In pa...

On X ̃-frames and conjugate systems in Banach spaces

The generalization of p-frame in Banach spaces is considered in this paper. The concepts of an $tilde{X}$-frame and a system conjugate to $tilde{X}$-frame were introduced. Analogues of the results on the existence of conjugate system were obtained. The stability of $tilde{X}$-frame having a conjugate system is studied.
