Information sharing can be effective with structured data. However, there are several challenges for having structured data on the web. Creating structured concept definitions is difficult and multiple conceptualizations may exist due to different user requirements and preferences. We propose consolidating multiple concept definitions into a unified virtual concept. We have implemented a system...

The paper considers the problem of defining concepts within formal ontologies. A number of distinct modes of definition are identified, which represent alternative viewpoints on the classification of objects. The nature of these modes is examined and interactions and correlations between them are considered. This analysis is used to characterise a number of key problems that confront the attemp...

A student conceptual model can be defined as a set of interconnected concepts associated with an estimation value that indicates how well these concepts are used by the students. It can model just one student or a group of students, and can be represented as a concept map, conceptual diagram or one of several other knowledge representation formats. Some e-assessment systems that automatically e...

We reformulate Mesiar’s hypothesis [Possibility measures, integration and fuzzy possibility measures, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 92 (1997) 191196], which as such was shown to be untrue by Murofushi [Two-valued possibility measures induced by σ-finite σ-additive measures, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 126 (2002) 265268]. We prove that a two-valued σ-maxitive measure can be induced by a σ-additive measure u...

The present article discusses some aspects related to the process of text analysis with a concept map aiming at structuring textual knowledge and achieving a better recall of information in the context of teaching technical translation. The concept map is considered not as a system for representing knowledge structures of domains, but as a cognitive means used as a method for text analysis in s...

auf die sprachphilosophische Motivation ontologisch-semantischer Überlegun-gen eingegangen werden.

In der Informatik wird die Semantik durch diskriminierende Terme beschrieben. Jedoch fehlen oftmals speziell in philosophischen Texten genau diese gewichtigen Terme. Ausgehend von der oft eingesetzten diskriminierenden Semantik wird am Problem der Sinnund Weisheitssprüche eine kontrastive Semantik vorgestellt. Die eingeführte Methode stellt ein Lessons Learnt aus dem eAQUA-Projekt [BHG08, HBB10...

Pros and cons of various mature Automated Highway Systems (AHS) have been a subject of intense study. However. such discussions are nothing but intellectual exercises unless the issue of how to evolve. in a planned and managed fashion, the current highway systems towards these mature AHS is also addressed. Since full functionality of a mature AHS cannot be realized suddenly. discrete functional...
