A Conceptual Exploration

چکیده
Barriers are defined as discontinuities in broadly defined marginal costs of communication usually leading to a discontinuity in interaction. This paper addresses conceptual issues about barriers to conmmunication. Several typologies of barriers are given. For example, according to the degree of permeability, barriers may discourage interaction, or may even be entirely impermeable, but examples may also be given of barriers which stimulate communication in one or both directions. Another typology of barriers addresses reasons of existence, including natural barriers, barriers created for protection purposes, barriers created for reasons of convenience, etc. The paper concludes with a number of suggestions for further research on communication barriers.

Concept exploration is a knowledge acquisition tool for interactively exploring the hierarchical structure of nitely generated lattices. Applications comprise the support of knowledge engineers by constructing a type lattice for conceptual graphs, and the exploration of large formal contexts in formal concept analysis.

متن کاملCollaborative Conceptual Exploration as a Tool for Crowdsourcing Domain Ontologies
Domain ontologies are essential in disciplines as diverse as software engineering, medicine, or political science to name just a few. This paper describes an ongoing effort to develop a methodology for collaborative ontology construction by geographically spread communities of experts and implement a web-based prototype supporting this methodology. A distinctive feature of the proposed approach...
متن کاملGeothermal Resource Conceptual Models Using Surface Exploration Data
The most important element of an analysis to target a geothermal well or assess resource capacity is a resource conceptual model consistent with the available information. A common alternative approach to both targeting and assessment is to focus on a data anomaly or, in some cases, several stacked anomalies. However, even stacked anomalies are commonly misleading without support from a concept...
