Distributed Knowledge Representation On The Social Semantic Desktop: Named Graphs, Views And Roles In Nrl
Graph views as a way to support tailored interpretations for named graphs
...we present the concept of Graph Views as one of the core concepts in NRL. By allowing for arbitrary tailored interpretations for any established named graph, graph views fulfill our idea that named graphs should not innately carry any realized semantics or assumptions…

PRISM: discovery, rights tracking and end-to-end metadata
This overall goal requires a metadata approach that emphasizes discovery, rights tracking, and end-to-end metadata. Discovery: Discovery is a general term for finding content which encompasses searching, browsing, content routing, and other techniques. Discussions of discovery…
Towards An Ontology Of Software: A Requirements Engineering Perspective
Machine, environment and their interface
In our understanding, the two ovals represent the possible phenomena involving the environment (to the left) and a programmable plat- form connected to the environment, called the machine (to the right). The intersection represents phenomena at the interface between the machine…
What Is An Ontology?
Ontology as a specification of a conceptualization
In the context of knowledge sharing, I use the term ontology to mean a specification of a conceptualization. That is, an ontology is a description (like a formal specification of a program) of the concepts and relationships that can exist for an agent or a community of agents…
Where Are The Semantics In The Semantic Web?
Discovering what another agent means
The moment we accept the problem and grant that agents may not use the same terms to mean the same things, we need a way for an agent to discover what another agent means when it communicates. In order for this to happen, every agent will need to publicly declare exactly what…
Problem of term heterogeneity and different modeling styles
Even if we assume a shared language and compatible conceptualizations, it is still possible, indeed likely, that different people will build different ontologies for the same domain. Two different terms may have the same meaning and the same term may have two different…
Agents must publicly declare their ontologies
The moment we accept the problem and grant that agents may not use the same terms to mean the same things, we need a way for an agent to discover what another agent means when it communicates. In order for this to happen, every agent will need to publicly declare exactly what…
