Taxonomic Distance - Classification and Navigation
Hypermedia museum exhibits will often be indexed acording to different criteria. This paper discusses an approach to hypermedia design for museum applications that attempts to capture underlying semantic relationships between conceptual terms in a separate index space. A distance measure over the index space makes possible high level navigation tools to assist users unfamiliar with the organisa...
متن کاملMining Non-Taxonomic Conceptual Relations from Text
Non-taxonomic relations between concepts appear as a major building block in common ontology definitions. In fact, their definition consumes much of the time needed for engineering an ontology. We here describe a new approach for mining nontaxonomic conceptual relations from text building on shallow text processing techniques. We use a generalized association rule algorithm that does not only d...
متن کاملConstraints Based Taxonomic Relation Classification
Determining whether two terms in text have an ancestor relation (e.g. Toyota and car) or a sibling relation (e.g. Toyota and Honda) is an essential component of textual inference in NLP applications such as Question Answering, Summarization, and Recognizing Textual Entailment. Significant work has been done on developing stationary knowledge sources that could potentially support these tasks, b...
متن کاملExplanatory Identities and Conceptual Change
Although mind-brain identity remains controversial, many other identities of ordinary things with scientific ones are well established. For example, air is a mixture of gases, water is H2O, and fire is rapid oxidation. This paper examines the history of 15 important identifications: air, blood, cloud, earth, electricity, fire, gold, heat, light, lightning, magnetism, salt, star, thunder, and wa...
متن کاملReference Determination and Conceptual Change
The paper discusses reference determination from the point of view of conceptual change in science. The first part of the discussion uses the homology concept, a natural kind term from biology, as an example. It is argued that the causal theory of reference gives an incomplete account of reference determination even in the case of natural kind terms. Moreover, even if descriptions of the refere...
