Parmenides by himself

Information Management: The Parmenides Approach

The amounts of heterogeneous data that an organization is provided nowadays, has made information management a seriously complicated task. In the context of the present work, a platform for information management through document analysis and warehousing is introduced. Workflows employing Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Information Extraction (IE) components are used in order to extract s...

First – the way exploited by Frege and Tichý – an expression cannot be said to speak about something without denoting (naming) this something; an analysis of an expression must not conta...

Multilayer annotations in Parmenides

Most of the thrust in the semantic web movement comes from the observation that existing NLP tools are not sophisticated or efficient enough to process the full richness of Natural Language, and therefore Machine Understandable annotations need to be added to Web Resources in order to make them accessible by remote agents. However, when the target application is not required to handle a huge am...

This leads me to a distinction between time and space, to a further degree than that present in the canonical approach to general relativity. With this distinction, one can make sense of superpositions as interference...
