Semantic Knowledge Representation |
|
Lisa Cox's recently completed dissertation work involves knowledge
representation, the theory of modeling, and advancing the way computers process and communicate true meaning.
Main premises of the work are that semantic knowledge lies in the relationships and links between concepts, there
can be no meaning apart from context, relationships are not indivisible (atomic) concepts, and building an ontology
of relationship types helps to encode more meaning in automatic knowledge processing.
Central contributions of this work include the Mutuo ontology of conceptual relationships,
an investigation of how contexts influence modeling of conceptual relationships, and demonstration of the
robustness of Mutuo by subsumption and representation of other relation ontologies from the literature.
