Tasks and ontologies in engineering modelling

KEWI - A Knowledge Engineering Tool for Modelling AI Planning Tasks

This paper introduces the Knowledge Engineering Web Interface (KEWI) which primarily aims to be used for modelling automated planning tasks in a semi-formal framework. The conceptual model used to represent the declarative and procedural knowledge in KEWI is described formally. The model consists of three layers: a rich ontology, a model of basic actions, and more complex methods. It is this st...

Modelling Changes in Ontologies

Ontologies are shared conceptualizations of certain domains. Especially in legal and regulatory ontologies modifications like the passing of a new law, decisions by high courts, new insights by scholars, etc. have to be considered. Otherwise, we would not be able to identify which knowledge (which ontology) was valid at an arbitrary timepoint in the past. And without this knowledge we would for...

Modelling Multilinguality in Ontologies

Multilinguality in ontologies has become an impending need for institutions worldwide with valuable linguistic resources in different natural languages. Since most ontologies are developed in one language, obtaining multilingual ontologies implies to localize or adapt them to a concrete language and culture community. As the adaptation of the ontology conceptualization demands considerable effo...

Modelling the knowledge of urban complexity: The role of ontologies in spatial design tasks

The interest of the present research is focused on knowledge mechanisms in the spatial domain. Given a space and a set of entities the goal is understanding the structure of intelligent analysis and classification of architectural design outcomes in terms of complexity: see an architectagent's ability of detecting continuous/non-continuous design items within a spatial set contingent on the nee...
