Taxonomies with Lattice Algebras

نویسنده

  • Nikolaj Oldager
چکیده

In this paper taxonomies are considered to be mathematical lattices. This gives us a \two-edged sword" for describing taxonomies. On the one-hand, we have a concise algebra suitable for speciication of taxonomies, and on the other an order theoretic representation suitable for visual presentation of ontologies. A language based on algebraic lattices is described and given a model-theoretic semantics. It is shown how we can infer conceptual knowledge, i.e. automatically generate new concepts and place them in a taxonomy. By adding attributes to this language we can describe ontologies, giving us a powerful language for conceptual representation and reasoning. As an example is shown how this language facilitates disambiguation by means of an ontology.

On residuated lattices with universal quantifiers

We consider properties of residuated lattices with universal quantifier and show that, for a residuated lattice $X$, $(X, forall)$ is a residuated lattice with a quantifier if and only if there is an $m$-relatively complete substructure of $X$. We also show that, for a strong residuated lattice $X$, $bigcap {P_{lambda} ,|,P_{lambda} {rm is an} m{rm -filter} } = {1}$ and hence that any strong re...

A new approach to characterization of MV-algebras

By considering the notion of MV-algebras, we recall some results on enumeration of MV-algebras and wecarry out a study on characterization of MV-algebras of orders $2$, $3$, $4$, $5$, $6$ and $7$. We obtain that there is one non-isomorphic MV-algebra of orders $2$, $3$, $5$ and $7$ and two non-isomorphic MV-algebras of orders $4$ and $6$.

On Heyting algebras and dual BCK-algebras

A Heyting algebra is a distributive lattice with implication and a dual $BCK$-algebra is an algebraic system having as models logical systems equipped with implication. The aim of this paper is to investigate the relation of Heyting algebras between dual $BCK$-algebras. We define notions of $i$-invariant and $m$-invariant on dual $BCK$-semilattices and prove that a Heyting semilattice is equiva...
