This paper is concern about developing a semantic agreement maintenance method based on semantic distance by calculating the change of local schema or ontology. This approach is important in dynamic and autonomous environment, in which the current approach assumed that agreement or mapping in static environment. The contribution of this research is to develop a framework based on semantic agree...

Wikis are prominent for successfully supporting the quick and simple creation, sharing and management of content on the web. Semantic wikis improve this by semantically enriched content. Currently, notable advances in different fields of semantic technology like (paraconsistent) reasoning, expressive knowledge (e.g., rules), and ontology learning can be observed. By making use of these technolo...

Which is more detectable, the change of a consistent or an inconsistent object in a scene? This question has been debated for decades. We noted that the change of objects in scenes might simultaneously be accompanied with gist changes. In the present study we aimed to examine how the alteration of gist, as well as the consistency of the changed objects, modulated change detection. In Experiment...

The technology of computer vision and image processing is attracting more and more attentions in recent years, and has been applied in many research areas like remote sensing image analysis. Change detection with multi-temporal remote sensing images is very important for the dynamic analysis of landscape variations. The abundant spatial information offered by very high resolution (VHR) images m...

translation is an active process in which a meaning is transferred from a source to a target language. during this process, meaning must have accordance with two main semantic sub-systems: signification and evaluation. signification is related to a signified unit of a linguistic sign and its encompassing properties known as seme. however, evaluation includes a range of different actualizations ...

the immense extent and richness of arabic lexical resources which bring about a great semantic extension, emerge in different ways, one of which is sobriquet. arabs used “alam” (proper noun) in three different forms, namely sobriquet, nickname and noun. in certain cases and due to rhetoric and semantic reasons, arabs used sobriquet instead of noun or nickname. gradually, this application became...

Finding how the Semantic Web has evolved can help understand the status of Semantic Web community and predict the diffusion of the Semantic Web. One of the promising applications of the Semantic Web is the representation of personal profiles using Friend of a Friend (FOAF). A key characteristic of such social networks is their continual change. However, extant analyses of social networks on the...
