To address the question, we briefly present the theoretical basis for a declining discount rate (DDR) schedule, but focus on how, in practice, a DDR could...

We then present the main motivations and desiderata of our approach and then discuss issues related to making ontological-semantic applications feasible through the judicious stepwise enhancement of static and dynamic knowledge sources while a...
