Dualistic Ontologies

International Journal of Intelligent Information Technologies, 2005
To effectively use and exchange information among AI systems, a formal specification of the representation of their shared domain of discourse—called an ontology—is indispensable. In this article we introduce a special kind of knowledge representation based on a dual view of the universe of discourse and show how it can be used in human activities such

Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technology - DESRIST '09, 2009

Ontologies and Ontologics

1990

Are particular philosophical disciplines scientific?
