An Approach to Ontology Integration for Ontology Reuse
2016 IEEE 17th International Conference on Information Reuse and Integration (IRI), 2016In the last years, the large availability of data and schema models formalized through different languages has demanded effective and efficient methodologies to reuse such models. One of the most challenging problem consists in integrating different models in a global conceptualization of a specific knowledge or application domain.

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

An Ontology Architecture for Integration of Ontologies
2006Ontologies are expected in various areas as promising tools to improve communication among people and to achieve interoperability among systems For communications between different business domains, building an ontology through integrating existing ontologies is more efficient way than building the ontology without them However, integration of ...

Rapid advances in information technologies continue to drive a flood of data and analysis techniques in ecological and environmental sciences. Using these resources more effectively and taking advantage of associated cross-disciplinary research opportunities poses a major challenge to both scientists and information technologists.

Semantic annotation and information extraction are of paramount importance in the field of unstructured information management. Although several sophisticated and indeed complex approaches were proposed, they still have many limitations. In this paper we present a novel ontological paradigm called Description Ontology in which objects and classes ...

The notion of state is ubiquitous in analysis of computational systems. State introduces intensional content into a dynamical process which cannot be directly observed from outside. Without a state, the process is defined purely by its inputoutput behaviour, and is thus expected to run itself out toward a final result, ie, compute some function.

Philosophy, taken from the point of view of its problems and methods, is the collection of distinct philosophical disciplines. In fact, metaphilosophical analysis leads to rather troublesome questions: Are philosophical disciplines methodologically and/or essentially related and connected? Are particular philosophical disciplines scientific?

Although the notions of function and functionality seem to be necessary tools – along with notionslike object, event and property – for making sense of the outside world, our understanding of functionsis still poor and fragmented. Serious theoretical work on functions and functionalities started in philos-ophy of science only about 40 years ago (see ...

According to Michel Foucault, the emergence of a new science of life, biology, was one of the axes of the scientific revolution. Before moving in the 1970s to analyse biopower and biopolitics as central categories of modernity, in The Order of Things: An Archaeology of the Human Sciences, Foucault wrote about life in terms of the «secret force» that ...

Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technology - DESRIST '09, 2009
In this paper, we describe the concept of ontological design. We show how ontologies can be used as cognitive maps of complex, ill-structured, plastic problems. They can be used to concisely encapsulate the core logic of a problem. From it one can also derive a closed set of a very large number of natural language descriptions of a problem.
