Search engines employ complex data structures to assist the user in the search process. Among these structures, knowledge graphs are vastly used for various search tasks. Given a knowledge graph that represents entities and relationships among them, one aims at complementing the search with intuitive but effective mechanisms. In particular, we focus on the comparison of two or more entities and...

Users combine attributes and types to describe and classify entities into categories. These categories are fundamental for organising knowledge in a decentralised way acting as tags and predicates. When searching for entities, categories frequently describes the search query. Considering that users do not know in which terms the categories are expressed, they might query the same concept by a p...

Abstract argumentation, as originally defined by Dung, is a model that allows the description of certain information about arguments and relationships between them: in an abstract argumentation framework (AF), agent knows for sure whether given argument or attack exists. It means absence two can be interpreted “we know first does not second one”. But question uncertainty has received much atten...

Some of the things that adults learn about language, and about the world, are very specific, whereas others are more abstract or rulelike. This article reviews evidence showing that infants, too, can very rapidly acquire both specific and abstract information, and considers the mechanisms that infants might use in doing so. Some of the things we know about language are very specific. We might k...

The information explosion in biology makes it difficult for researchers to stay abreast of current biomedical knowledge and to make sense of the massive amounts of online information. Ontologies--specifications of the entities, their attributes and relationships among the entities in a domain of discourse--are increasingly enabling biomedical researchers to accomplish these tasks. In fact, bio-...

Different approaches and methods are used in the architecture design process that logical and intuitional methods are the most common ones. The role of knowledge in each method is different.  Investigating aspects of knowledge demonstrated the hierarchy from data to wisdom and the interaction of explicit and tacit types, subjective and objective sources, and analytical and exploratory ways of p...
