Class-level and instance-level relations
Relations (also called "relationship types" in this guide, or "Properties" in other description logic languages) model types of relationships between entities. Any given relation can be applied in two ways, as "class level" relations, or as "instance level" relations. Class…

Instance of a property
An instance of a property is a factual relation between an instance of the domain and an instance of the range of the property that matches the criteria of the intension of the property.

Three kinds of event-event relation
..the basic event-event relations that are defined by three elements, i.e. two different events and a relationship type. We distinguish three basic relation- ship types, corresponding to three of the event properties: A topological or location-based relationship: two events are…
First Normal Form - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
First normal form
First normal form (1NF) is a property of a relation in a relational database. A relation is in first normal form if the domain of each attribute contains only atomic values, and the value of each attribute contains only a single value from that domain. [...] Edgar F. Codd's…

Criticism: weakness of isa relation on the idea category; isa is not used in a context-independent manner
The most serious form of this last worry centers on the semantics of the isa relation. The isa class subsumption relation is often presumed to hold in a context-general way and capture “purely ontological” relations; if it is true that “A isa B”, then any A in any context…
Structural idea-types are used marginally
Information about the “idea type” is nonetheless useful for inferential purposes. For example, knowing whether an idea is of the type position or of the type distinction can constrain the types of relationships philosophers can have to it. The InPhO thus repre- sents this…

Extracting historical events as named entities
One of the biggest challenges is information extraction on historical events from different textual data. We will start by identifying the ‘bigger’ events that have been deemed important enough to receive a proper name (e.g., French Revolution, Second World War). As the…
Life, The Multiverse And Everything: An Introduction To The Ideas Of Humberto Maturana Interpreting Maturana
The artist's "style" is that peculiar way in which he composed the constituent parts.
Forgers understand this principle very well because in trying to present a painting as a 'Renoir' what they do is to carefully maintain as invariant as possible (as resistant to scrutiny as possible) those critical relations ( brushstrokes, texturing etc.) among specified…
From linguistic behavior to language
Given sufficient structural plasticity and the continuation of recurrent interactions then we may observe the coordination of behaviour - not only in relation to interactions in the medium but also in relation to these coordinations of actions. That is they coordinate their…
Composite unities have organization and structure; organization; identity
Composite unities have Organization and Structure. Organization refers to the manner of composition that defines the unity. Organisation refers only to the relations between components that must always be present so that the composite unity will be a unity of a particular type…
Composite unity; the "whole is greater than the sum of its parts"
With the composite unity we do something more. Firstly, we distinguish a simple unity and then we decompose it and separate its components and relations. In the Universe we would claim that the composite unity composed itself, independently of us and what we do. We would assume…
Medieval Semiotics (meier-oeser, Stephan)
Roger Bacon is probably the most important medieval theorist of sign
Roger Bacon is probably the most important medieval theorist of sign — at least he is the author of the most extensive medieval tract on signs known so far.[21] Starting from a minute analysis of the notion of sign and its various divisions, Bacon develops both in De signis…
Nishida Kitarō (stanford Encyclopedia Of Philosophy)
Absolute nothingness
A model of interpretation is relevant: every text has its context, which in turn may be made a text or thematized by appealing to a further context. There is no final context that can be specified without referring to yet another context. For Nishida this relation would not be…

No right was superior to the city's
Greek society was a slave-owning society, and a female slave was not in a position to refuse the sexual demands of her owner .. Large cities..also had a big population of resident aliens, and these included women who made a living as prostitutes, on short-term relations with a…

Death as the off interval of a pulsation
Is it possible that myself, my existence, so contains being and nothing that death is merely the “off” interval in an on/off pulsation which must be eternal—because every alternative to this pulsation (e.g., its absence) would in due course imply its presence? Is it…

Constitution relationship
constitutedBy: We mean here the relation described extensively by Baker [20]. We just assume it being a kind of generic dependence relation that is both asymmetric and non-reflexive, and does not imply parthood.
A program is constituted by code
Since code and program differ in their essential properties (programs are necessari- ly artifacts and possess essential proper functions; codes are not necessarily artifacts), we have to conclude that a program is not identical to a code. However, if program and code are…
