This Information Systems research investigates Ontological Ambiguity as a specific problem in the management of ontologies. Ontologies are a class of software artifacts that seek to capture the basic essence of an organization’s structure and dynamics, identify the relevant objects and actors and describe their relationships. They then can be executed functionally through software applications....

We discuss in this work the contradictory position modern Physics between existence of a microphysical quantum Reality and macrophysical classical one. After discussing some basic concepts Philosophy, we revisit situation Quantum Mechanics results, particularly after confirmation violations Bell's Theorem, its significance to create tension micro macro world, which is very fundamental unsolved.

This paper is concerned with some aspects of the relationship between ontologica! knowledge and natural language understanding. More specifically, I will consider how knowledge of ontological domains and knowledge of lexical meaning work together in the interpretation of linguistic expressions. An essential assumption is that in accordance with ontological distinctions there are various semanti...

In this paper we proposed an ontology-based approach for reducing the ambiguity of bilingual translation. A metric based on the ontological chain for co-occurrence concept evaluation has also been proposed. Based on the ontology chain we can calculate the best translation of all possible translated terms. The experimental results show that the proposed approach can effectively remove the irrele...

Anselm’s Ontological Argument fails, but not for any of the various reasons commonly adduced. In particular, its failure has nothing to do with violating deep Kantian principles by treating ‘exists’ as a predicate or making reference to ‘Meinongian’ entities. Its one fatal flaw, so far from being metaphysically deep, is in fact logically shallow, deriving from a subtle scope ambiguity in Anselm...

A major performance factor when gathering information across a platform like the World Wide Web is the efficiency of the search and retrieval system. The effectiveness of current search and retrieval systems is restricted as they do not use the semantics of the data but only utilize keywords. Using a multi-agent system where agents gather information and organize it, creating ontologies, is a v...

The predominant taxonomy of knowledge models depict a hierarchical prescriptive structure that emphasizes discrete categorisation of knowledge. Whilst benefiting cataloguing of knowledge, by favouring an ontological over epistemological approach these taxonomies do not comfortably facilitate codification under situations of ambiguity, intangibility or duality. By incorporating the circumstances...
