Concept maps and expert systems are both in the soft toolbar of knowledge modelling. We have spent nearly two decades developing our expert system shell “Doctus”. Several years ago we have seen the first concept mapping solutions and started using them very soon. Frequently we have found ourselves using both tools in a particular research or consultancy project and started to wander how the two...

Ontology mapping is one of the most important tasks for ontology interoperability and its main aim is to find semantic relationships between entities (i.e. concept, attribute, and relation) of two ontologies. However, most of the current methods only consider one to one (1:1) mappings. In this paper we propose a new approach (CHM: Concept Hierarchy based Mapping approach) which can find simple ...

We introduce a new concept of general $G$-$eta$-monotone operator generalizing the general $(H,eta)$-monotone operator cite{arvar2, arvar1}, general $H-$ monotone operator cite{xiahuang} in Banach spaces, and also generalizing $G$-$eta$-monotone operator cite{zhang}, $(A, eta)$-monotone operator cite{verma2}, $A$-monotone operator cite{verma0}, $(H, eta)$-monotone operator cite{fanghuang}...

Let K be a locally compact hypergroup. In this paper we initiate the concept of fundamental domain in locally compact hypergroups and then we introduce the Borel section mapping. In fact, a fundamental domain is a subset of a hypergroup K including a unique element from each cosets, and the Borel section mapping is a function which corresponds to any coset, the related unique element in the fun...

A research program at Cornell University that sought to study the ability of first and second grade children to acquire basic science concepts and the effect of this learning on later schooling led to the need for a new tool to describe explicit changes in children’s conceptual understanding. Concept mapping was invented in 1972 to meet this need, and subsequently numerous other uses have been ...
