Knowledge Representation

← Back to Domain-Specific Abstractions by Domain

6 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Knowledge Representation.

  • Class (Knowledge Representation) — A formal concept whose expression denotes a set of individuals under an interpretation and whose assertions and class axioms support membership, subsumption, satisfiability, and classification reasoning.
  • Conceptual graph — A graph-based knowledge-representation formalism connecting typed concept nodes and relation nodes with a logical interpretation.
  • Core ontology — A deliberately small ontology containing the minimal high-level concepts and relations needed to interpret or connect more specialized domain concepts.
  • MultiNet — A multilayered semantic-network formalism representing natural-language meaning through typed concepts, relations, attributes and contextual layers.
  • Process Specification Language — The ISO 18629 formal ontology and interchange language for representing activities, occurrence, ordering and resources so heterogeneous process software can exchange meaning.
  • Reification (knowledge representation) — The conversion of a relation or assertion into an addressable object about which further assertions can be made.
