Requirements for Representing Situations

چکیده
This paper describes experiences with the limitations imposed by OWL on the representation of common constructs in two distinct application domains: qualitative reasoning models in ecology, and ontology based legal reasoning. We will show that OWL is not expressive enough to unambiguously represent situations using restrictions. Secondly, we show that representing the idea that instances in different concrete situations are actually the same individual, is a non-trivial issue which cannot be adequately solved in OWL. Thirdly, a representation of a general situation cannot be easily reused within other situations.

Ontology Engineering for Collaborative Embedded Systems - Requirements and Initial Approach
Collaborative embedded systems (CES) heavily rely on information models to understand the contextual situations they are exposed to. These information models serve different purposes. First, during development time it is necessary to model the context for eliciting and documenting the requirements that a CES is supposed to achieve. Second, information models provide information to simulate diff...

The Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) and its Scholarly Works Application Profile (SWAP) are used to inspire the representation of complex real world situations in the publication part of the Common European Research Information Format (CERIF), the model for Current Research Information Systems (CRIS). CERIF is found to have room for different approaches to representing m...
متن کاملConflict Analysis and Information Systems: A Rough Set Approach
Conflict analysis and conflict resolution play an important role in negotiation during contract-management situations in government and industry. The problem to be solved is how to model conflict situations where there is uncertainty about agreement, neutrality and disagreement among agents in a conflict situation. The solution to this problem includes modeling a conflict situation relative to ...
متن کاملNear Sets in Assessing Conflict Dynamics within a Perceptual System Framework
The problem considered in this chapter is how to assess different perceptions of changing socio-technical conflicts. Our approach to the solution to this problem of assessing conflict dynamics is to consider negotiation views within the context of perceptual information systems. Briefly, perceptual information systems (succinctly, perceptual systems) are real-valued, total, deterministic inform...
متن کاملRequirements Engineering: An Integrated View of Representation, Process, and Domain
Reuse, system integration, and interoperability create a growing need for capturing, representing, and using application-level information about software-intensive systems and their evolution. In ESPRIT Basic Research Project NATURE, we are developing an integrative approach to requirements management based on a threedimensional framework which addresses formalism as well as cognitive and socia...
