Tabular Expressions and Their Relational Semantics
Fundamenta Informaticae, 2005Tabular Expressions (Parnas et al. [20, 28, 32, 33]) are means to represent the complex relations that are used to specify or document software systems. A formal model and a semantics for tabular expressions are presented. The model covers most known types of tables used in software engineering, and admits precise classification and definition of new ...

Semantic distance and the verification of semantic relations
Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1973Four experiments dealt with the verification of semantic relations. In Experiment I, subjects decided whether an instance was a member of a specified category. For some categories (for example, birds) verification was faster when the target category was a direct superordinate (bird) than a higher level superordinate (animal), while for another category

Abstract Having solved the completeness problem, the algebraic semantics, introduced in the previous chapter, deprives us, however, of that transparent interpretation of logical connectives which made it possible to construct models for formulas by analyzing step by step their subformulas and adding new points, if necessary.

Semantic field and accessibility relations
KES'2000. Fourth International Conference on Knowledge-Based Intelligent Engineering Systems and Allied Technologies. Proceedings (Cat. No.00TH8516), 2002We give a fundamental definition of semantic fields and explain how accessibility relations can be related to semantic fields. The semantic field is then related to set theory, laws and facts, and Scott-Montague models.

A Semantics for Relational Programming
1992This paper presents an elementary model of relational programming as a generalisation of functional programming. We present well-known models of features of functional programming and show one way that they generalise to the relational case. This is achieved by giving a uniform construction of a category of types and relations from a category of types ...

Semantic relations in bilingual lexicons
ACM Transactions on Speech and Language Processing, 2008Bilingual lexicons, essential to many NLP applications, can be constructed automatically on the basis of parallel or comparable corpora. In this article, we make two contributions to their induction from comparable corpora. The first one concerns the creation of these lexicons.

Relation-based semantics for concurrency
Information Sciences, 1993``Despite several decades of research, capturing the semantics of concurrent programs in a crisp and tractable fashion remains a formidable challenge''. With this ambitious goal the authors initiate their quest towards the clean and manageable concurrency semantics many have searched for before with more or less success.

Relational Scaling in Relational Semantic Systems
2009In this paper two developments in Conceptual Knowledge Processing are combined, namely Contextual Logic introduced by Rudolf Wille and Temporal Concept Analysis introduced by the author. The basic structures connecting both theories are Relational Semantic Systems (RSS), each consisting of conceptual scales and a Relational Data Systems (RDS) for the ...

Relational Semantics and Domain Semantics for Epistemic Modals
Journal of Philosophical Logic, 2016The standard account of modal expressions in natural language analyzes them as quantifiers over a set of possible worlds determined by the evaluation world and an accessibility relation. A number of authors have recently argued for an alternative account according to which modals are analyzed as quantifying over a domain of possible worlds that is ...

On the Semantic Relation of Z and HOL
1998We investigate the relation between the semantic models of Z, as proposed by the Z draft standard, and of the polymorphic version of higher-order logic that is the basis for proof systems such as HOL and Isabelle/HOL. Disregarding the names in schema types, the type models of the two systems can be identified up to isomorphism.
