Referent Tracking for Corporate Memories
نویسندگان
چکیده
For corporate memory and enterprise ontology systems to be maximally useful, they must be freed from certain barriers placed around them by traditional knowledge management paradigms. This means, above all, that they must mirror more faithfully those portions of reality which are salient to the workings of the enterprise, including the changes that occur with the passage of time. The purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate how theories based on philosophical realism can contribute to this objective. We discuss how realism-based ontologies (capturing what is generic) combined with referent tracking (capturing what is specific) can play a key role in building the robust and useful corporate memories of the future.

متن کاملAmbiguities in Medical Bitemporalized Relational Databases: A Referent Tracking View
An analysis based on referent tracking systems shows that a classical medical application of bitemporalized relational database that uses classes as attribute values is ambiguous in several respects. This suggests that to avoid such ambiguities, bitemporalized relational databases could be structured on the basis of ontological representations that give adequate attention to particulars.
