Compositionality: Ontology and Mereology of Domains⋆ Some Clarifying Observations in the Context of Software Engineering

چکیده
In this discursive paper we discuss compositionality of (i) simple entities, (ii) operations, (iii) events and (iv) behaviours. These four concepts, (i)–(iv), together define a concept of entities. We view entities as “things” characterised by properties. We shall review some such properties. Mereology, the study of partwhole relations is then applied to a study of composite entities. We then speculate on compositionality of simple entities, operations, events and behaviours in the light of their mereologies. entities. We end the paper with some speculations on the rôle of Galois connections in the study of compositionality and domain mereology.

Context-aware Modeling for Spatio-temporal Data Transmitted from a Wireless Body Sensor Network
Context-aware systems must be interoperable and work across different platforms at any time and in any place. Context data collected from wireless body area networks (WBAN) may be heterogeneous and imperfect, which makes their design and implementation difficult. In this research, we introduce a model which takes the dynamic nature of a context-aware system into consideration. This model is con...

متن کاملOntology Patterns: Clarifying Concepts and Terminology
Ontology patterns have been pointed out as a promising approach for ontology engineering. The goal of this paper is to clarify concepts and the terminology used in Ontology Engineering to talk about the notion of ontology patterns taking into account already well-established notions of patterns in Software Engineering.
متن کاملContext-Aware Recommender Systems: A Review of the Structure Research
Recommender systems are a branch of retrieval systems and information matching, which through identifying the interests and requires of the user, help the users achieve the desired information or service through a massive selection of choices. In recent years, the recommender systems apply describing information in the terms of the user, such as location, time, and task, in order to produce re...
متن کاملCentralized Clustering Method To Increase Accuracy In Ontology Matching Systems
Ontology is the main infrastructure of the Semantic Web which provides facilities for integration, searching and sharing of information on the web. Development of ontologies as the basis of semantic web and their heterogeneities have led to the existence of ontology matching. By emerging large-scale ontologies in real domain, the ontology matching systems faced with some problem like memory con...
