Taxonomies of Knowledge
Knowledge management has become a major application of information technology (IT) and a major focus of IT research. Thus, it becomes increasingly important to understand the nature of the knowledge object and knowledge engineering processes. The assumption underlying this article is that in order for knowledge to be managed by technological means, it must first be represented in the relevant t...
متن کاملEvolution of nesting height in an endangered Hawaiian forest bird in response to a non-native predator.
The majority of bird extinctions since 1800 have occurred on islands, and non-native predators have been the greatest threat to the persistence of island birds. Island endemic species often lack life-history traits and behaviors that reduce the probability of predation and they can become evolutionarily trapped if they are unable to adapt, but few studies have examined the ability of island spe...
متن کاملSymbolic Knowledge Representation in Transcript Based Taxonomies
This paper introduces a design for the taxonomical representation of participants’ instantial meaningmaking, as the basis for providing a measure of ambiguity and contestation. We use hyponymy and meronymy as the basis for our taxonomies and adopt the System Network formalism as the basis for their representation. We achieve an integration of transcript and taxonomy using an XML based ‘satellit...
متن کاملKnowledge Representation and Reasoning with Definitional Taxonomies
We provide a detailed overview of knowledge representation issues in general and terminological knowledge representation in particular. Terminological knowledge representation, which originated with KL-ONE, is an object-centered approach in the tradition of semantic networks and frames. Terminological systems share three distinguishing characteristics: (1) They are intended to support the defin...
متن کاملFuzzy Taxonomies for Creative Knowledge Discovery
A systematic form of creative knowledge discovery is outlined, requiring taxonomies to generalise knowledge structures and mappings between taxonomies to find parallels between knowledge structures from different domains. These share many of the features needed to handle uncertainty in the semantic web, and results will be relevant to the URSW community.
