An Ontology Construction Method Based on Formal Concept Analysis

Experiments of Ontology Construction with Formal Concept Analysis

Ontology-based concept similarity in Formal Concept Analysis

Both domain ontologies and Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) aim at modeling concepts, although with different purposes. In the literature, a promising research area concerns the role of FCA in ontology engineering, in particular, in supporting the critical task of reusing independently developed domain ontologies. With this regard, the possibility of evaluating concept similarity is acquiring an i...

?Logic and Formal Ontology: Is the Final Formal Ontology Possible

Musa Akrami AbstractMany philosophers and logicians have contemplated the relationship between ontology and logic. The author of this paper, working within a Bolzanoan-Husserlian tradition of studying both ontology and logic, considers ontology as the science of the most general features of beings and the most general relations among them. He considers logic as the science concernin...

Ontology Design with Formal Concept Analysis

Ontologies, often defined as an explicit specification of conceptualization, are necessary for knowledge representation and knowledge exchange. Usually this means that ontology describes concepts and relations that exist in a domain. To enable knowledge exchange, it is necessary to describe these concepts and relations in a better way than just ordering them in taxonomy. However, ontology desig...
