It is a well known fact that the data mining process can generate thousands of patterns from data. Various measures exist for evaluating and ranking these discovered patterns but often they don’t consider user subjective interest. We propose an ontology-based datamining methodology called ExCIS (Extraction using a Conceptual Information System) for integrating expert prior knowledge in a data-m...

Based on a system-theoretical approach, aspects of real world systems have been introduced. In this context, the relations between a system's architecture, i.e. its components, their functions and relations, formally represented by domain-specific ontologies considering all domains relevant in the system's use case on the one hand and the system's behaviour ruled by the applied policies on the ...

In this work we propose an ontology to support automated negotiation in multiagent systems. The ontology can be connected with some domain-specific ontologies to facilitate the negotiation in different domains, such as Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), e-commerce, etc. The specific negotiation rules for each type of negotiation strategy can also be defined as part of the ontology, reduc...

Abstract This article approaches dance through the lens of new materialist theories (speculative realism, object-oriented ontology, thing theory, posthumanism, etc.), considering possibility that objecthood need not align with inertness and movement be excluded from realm substantive. Deploying a practice-based methodology informed by participation in works Simone Forti Maria Hassabi, as well h...

information systems (is) and the process of distinguishing information systems ontology have been the center of challenge during the 50 years of is development. the importance of this challenge is emergent in direct link between knowledge development process in is and the is ontology. in other words, theorizing and efforts to falsify theories, which have been developed, is influenced by the way...

In this paper, we present a hybrid method for semi-automatic building of domain ontology from spoken dialogue corpus in Tunisian Dialect for the railway request information domain. The proposed method is based on a statistical method for term and concept extraction and a linguistic method for semantic relation extraction. This method consists of three fundamental phases, namely the corpus const...

I argue that attempts in the philosophy of biology to show organisms are processes, rather than substances, fail. Despite what process ontologists have said, substance ontology is perfectly able accommodate dynamic nature organisms, their ecological dependence, and vague boundaries, criticisms directed not at simpliciter, but only specific (perhaps untenable) characterisations substances. The p...
