Conceptual structures : knowledge visualization and reasoning : 16th International Conference on Conceptual Structures, ICCS 2008, Toulouse, France, July 7-11, 2008 : proceedings

Annotation This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Conceptual Structures, ICCS 2008, held in Toulouse, France, in July 2008. The 19 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from over 70 submissions. The scope of the contributions ranges from theoretical and methodological topics to implementation issues and applications. The papers present a family of Conceptual Structure approaches that build on techniques derived from artificial intelligence, knowledge representation, applied mathematics and lattice theory, computational linguistics, conceptual modeling, intelligent systems and knowledge management Front Matter....Pages - Diagrammatic Reasoning Systems....Pages 1-20 Pursuing the Goal of Language Understanding....Pages 21-42 Web, Graphs and Semantics....Pages 43-61 Transdisciplinarity and Generalistic Sciences and Humanities....Pages 62-73 Jacob Lorhard’s Ontology: A 17 th Century Hypertext on the Reality and Temporality of the World of Intelligibles....Pages 74-87 Revelator’s Complex Adaptive Reasoning Methodology for Resource Infrastructure Evolution....Pages 88-103 Conceptual Spider Diagrams....Pages 104-118 An Algorithmic Study of Deduction in Simple Conceptual Graphs with Classical Negation....Pages 119-132 Flexible Querying of Fuzzy RDF Annotations Using Fuzzy Conceptual Graphs....Pages 133-146 Query-Answering CG Knowledge Bases....Pages 147-160 Attribute Exploration Using Implications with Proper Premises....Pages 161-174 Sorting Concepts by Priority Using the Theory of Monotone Systems....Pages 175-188 Extending Attribute Dependencies for Lattice-Based Querying and Navigation....Pages 189-202 PACTOLE: A Methodology and a System for Semi-automatically Enriching an Ontology from a Collection of Texts....Pages 203-216 Fair(er) and (Almost) Serene Committee Meetings with Logical and Formal Concept Analysis....Pages 217-230 Contextual Cognitive Map....Pages 231-241 Employing a Domain Specific Ontology to Perform Semantic Search....Pages 242-254 Concept Similarity and Related Categories in SearchSleuth....Pages 255-268 Grounded Conceptual Graph Models....Pages 269-281 Scenario Argument Structure vs Individual Claim Defeasibility: What Is More Important for Validity Assessment?....Pages 282-296 Griwes: Generic Model and Preliminary Specifications for a Graph-Based Knowledge Representation Toolkit....Pages 297-310 Back Matter....Pages -
