Formal Ontologies and Uncertainty. In Geographical Knowledge

open access: yesTeMA: Journal of Land Use, Mobility and Environment, 2014
Formal ontologies have proved to be a very useful tool to manage interoperability among data, systems and knowledge. In this paper we will show how formal ontologies can evolve from a crisp, deterministic framework (ontologies of hard knowledge) to new ...

Formal Ontology Driven Model Refactoring [PDF]

open access: yes2018 23rd International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer Systems (ICECCS), 2018
Refactoring, successfully used in the field of programming, can be used in maintenance and restructuring of the large and complex models. In this paper, we present a novel approach for model refactoring and a set of modelling patterns that are applicable for refinement-based formal development.

ONTOLOGICAL PURITY FOR FORMAL PROOFS

open access: yesThe Review of Symbolic Logic, 2023
AbstractPurity is known as an ideal of proof that restricts a proof to notions belonging to the ‘content’ of the theorem. In this paper, our main interest is to develop a conception of purity for formal (natural deduction) proofs. We develop two new notions of purity: one based on an ontological notion of the content of a theorem, and one based on the ...
