The difference between the two word orders is pragmatic in nature: in the basic word order the focus is on the object, in th...
متن کاملTopicality in Logic-Based Ontologies
In this paper we examine several forms of modularity in logics as a basis for various conceptions of the topical structure of an ontology. Intuitively, a topic is a coherent fragment of the subject matter of the ontology. Different topics may play different roles: e.g., the main topic (or topics), side topics, or subtopics. If, at the lowest level, the subject matter of an ontology is character...

This is due to the fact that specific indefinit...
