Anne Conway's Ontology of Creation: A Pluralist Interpretation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract Does Anne Conway (1631–79) hold that the created world consists of a single underlying substance? Some have argued she does; others is priority monist and so holds there are many substances, but whole ontologically prior to each particular creature. Against both these proposals, this article makes case for substance pluralist interpretation Conway: individual creatures distinct not compose it. The basic argument such view draws on Conway's claims about freedom moral responsibility creatures. reading straightforwardly compatible with claims, while monistic readings not.

Verb Interpretation for Basic Action Types: Annotation, Ontology Induction and Creation of Prototypical Scenes
In the last 20 years dictionaries and lexicographic resources such as WordNet have started to be enriched with multimodal content. Short videos depicting basic actions support the user’s need (especially in second language acquisition) to fully understand the range of applicability of verbs. The IMAGACT project has among its results a repository of action verbs ontologically organised around pr...
متن کاملUser-Friendly Ontology Creation Methodologies - A Survey
The convergence of the semantic web and the social web to the social semantic web leads to new challenges in ontology engineering. As of today ontologies are created by highly specialized ontology engineers. In order to unite "the wisdom of crowds" and ontologies new approaches to ontology creation are necessary to bridge the "ontology gap" and enable novice users to create formalized knowledge...

Automated image interpretation is an important task in numerous applications ranging from security systems to natural resource inventorization based on remote-sensing. Recently, a second generation of adaptive machine-learned image interpretation systems have shown expert-level performance in several challenging domains.

متن کاملPractice and Exploration of Ontology Creation Algorithms
Ontology creation from unstrcutred text is a meaningful and challenging problem. In order to see what kind of ontology is produced when applying different algorithms on specialized domain corpus, we select two representative approaches, one is Guided Hierarchical Clustering and the other is lexico-syntactic pattern based, which corresponds to two main stream directions in this field. In particu...
متن کاملCreation and Merging of Ontology Top-Levels
We provide a new method for systematically structuring the top-down level of ontologies. It is based on an interactive, top{down knowledge acquisition process, which assures that the knowledge engineer considers all possible cases while avoiding redundant acquisition. The method is suited especially for creating/merging the top part(s) of the ontologies, where high accuracy is required, and for...
