Monotonic reasoning
Monotonic reasoning is a term from knowledge representation. A reasoning form is monotonic if an addition to the set of propositions making up the knowledge base never determines a decrement in the set of conclusions that may be derived from the knowledge base via inference…
Extension of a class
The extension of a class is the set of all real life instances belonging to the class that fulfil the criteria of its intension. This set is "open" in the sense that it is generally beyond our capabilities to know all instances of a class in the world and indeed that the future…
Data-sharing: Everything On Display : Naturejobs
Why scientists don't share their data
Open data-sharers are still in the minority in many fields. Although many researchers broadly agree that public access to raw data would accelerate science — because other scientists might be able to make advances not foreseen by the data's producers — most are reluctant to…

Pictures and the limits of 10K words
Re graphics: A picture is worth 10K words - but only those to describe the picture. Hardly any sets of 10K words can be adequately described with pictures.
Facetlens : Exposing Trends And Relationships To Support Sensemaking Within Faceted Datasets
Linear facets expose trends over time
One set of interesting insights that can be made about a large collection of data such as a conference publication dataset involves meaningful trends. For example, which topics have come and gone in a conference? What is the publication trend of an author or an institute? What…
Filters Vs. Facets: Definitions
Filters versus faceted navigation
Filters are one such tool — they analyze a given set of content to exclude items that don’t meet certain criteria. More recently, rich information systems have also begun to provide faceted navigation, which basically extends the idea of filters even further into a complex…
Is Frbr A Domain? Domain Analysis Applied To The Literature Of The Frbr Family Of Conceptual Models
Domain and domain analysys
Domain analysis provides a set of techniques for extracting and analyzing the semantic intellectual content of a coherent group. A major tool for knowledge organization, domain analysis has been successfully applied to such diverse domains as “musicianship” (Lam 2011), “gourmet…
Micropublications: A Semantic Model For Claims, Evidence, Arguments And Annotations In Biomedical Communications
Nanopublication support is not argumentative support
Nanopublications distill content as a graph of assertions associated with (a) provenance of the article or dataset from whence they came; and (b) a set of terms for indexing and filtering in order to identify auxiliary information in large data sets. Although this last point is…
Ontology Views For Collaborative Ontology Development
Ontology views and segmentation
..the ontology view might be the set of terms and definitions within a certain radius of a selected term, a set which does not itself constitute an ontology but a connected sub-graph (Noy, 2004; Voltz, 2003). The term ‘ontology segmentation’ has been coined to describe the…

Function
A function is a set of code within a program that performs a speciïc task.Functions are powerful programming tools that make programs easier to read and change.The diagonals()function in the following example was written to draw a sequence of three diagonal lines each time it…
Towards An Ontology Of Software: A Requirements Engineering Perspective
Code, copy, medium and process
Focusing on the computational aspects, several scholars have addressed the complex relationships with- in i) a software code, understood as a set of computer instructions; ii) a software copy, which is the embodiment of a set of instructions through a hard medium; iii) a…
What Are The Differences Between A Vocabulary, A Taxonomy, A Thesaurus, An Ontology, And A Meta-model?
Meta-models and ontologies
A meta-model is an explicit model of the constructs and rules needed to build specific models within a domain of interest. A valid meta-model is an ontology, but not all ontologies are modeled explicitly as meta-models. A meta-model can be viewed from three different…
