Facet Theory and the Mapping Sentence As Hermeneutically Consistent Structured Meta-Ontology and Structured Meta-Mereology
نویسنده
چکیده
When behavior is interpreted in a reliable manner (i.e., robustly across different situations and times) its explained meaning may be seen to possess hermeneutic consistency. In this essay I present an evaluation of the hermeneutic consistency that I propose may be present when the research tool known as the mapping sentence is used to create generic structural ontologies. I also claim that theoretical and empirical validity is a likely result of employing the mapping sentence in research design and interpretation. These claims are non-contentious within the realm of quantitative psychological and behavioral research. However, I extend the scope of both facet theory based research and claims for its structural utility, reliability and validity to philosophical and qualitative investigations. I assert that the hermeneutic consistency of a structural ontology is a product of a structural representation's ontological components and the mereological relationships between these ontological sub-units: the mapping sentence seminally allows for the depiction of such structure.

A Mapping Sentence for Understanding the Genre of Abstract Art Using Philosophical/Qualitative Facet Theory
Whether we are philosophers or are members of the general public, during the course of our daily activities we sub-divide our phenomenological world and form categorial accounts of these experiences. The development of categorial ontologies, or sub-divisions of the most basic levels of our existence, has long been used to enable a clearer understanding of a specific domain of interest. Similarl...
متن کاملScale in Object and Process Ontologies
Scale is of great importance to the analysis of real world phenomena, be they enduring objects or perduring processes. This paper presents a new perspective on the concept of scale by considering it within two complementary ontological views. The first, called SNAP, recognizes enduring entities or objects, the other, called SPAN, perduring entities or processes. Within the meta-theory provided ...

متن کاملPartial Ontology Matching Using Instance Features
Ontologies are a useful model to express semantics in a machinereadable way. A matching of heterogeneous ontologies is often required for many different applications like query answering or ontology integration. Many systems coping with the matching problem have been developed in the past, most of them using meta information like concept names as a basis for their calculations. This approach wo...
متن کاملOntology-centric Source Selection for Meta-querier Customization
With an increasing number of semi-structured data sources, meta-queriers are introduced to facilitate effective information retrieval from multiple data sources that are accessible through query forms. However, a one-size-fitsall meta-querier cannot cater for various individual needs. In meta-querier customization, source selection is arguably one of the most critical problems. This paper propo...
