The lack of a formal model of events hinders interoperability in distributed event-based systems. In this paper, we present a formal model of events, called Event-Model-F. The model is based on the foundational ontology DOLCE+DnS Ultralite…
A formalization of a subject-event ontology is proposed for modeling complex dynamic systems without reliance on global time. Key principles: (1) event as an act of fixation - a subject discerns and fixes changes according to models…
In this paper, we want to speculate about the possibility to model all the currently known/proposed approaches to terminology into a single schema. We will use the Entity-Relationship (ER) diagram as our tool for the conceptual data model…
John Bell proposed an ontology for the GRW modification of quantum mechanics in terms of flashes occurring at space-time points. The paper spells out the motivation for this ontology, enquires into the status of the wave-function in it,…
In real-world scenario, many phenomena produce a collection of events that occur in continuous time. Point Processes provide a natural mathematical framework for modeling these sequences of events. In this survey, we investigate…
Event classification can add valuable information for semantic search and the increasingly important topic of fact validation in news. So far, only few approaches address image classification for newsworthy event types such as natural…
One area of physics education research has focused on the nature of ontologies (mental categorizations of concepts, substances and processes), and how they might be used to gain insight into student thinking when learning classical physics.…
New in the probability theory and eventology theory, the concept of Kopula (eventological copula) is introduced. The theorem on the characterization of the sets of events by Kopula is proved, which serves as the eventological pre-image of…
There is growing acknowledgement within the software engineering community that a theory of software development is needed to integrate the myriad methodologies that are currently popular, some of which are based on opposing perspectives.…
This paper continues the discussion of the representation and interpretation of ontologies in the first-order logical environment {\ttfamily FOLE} (Kent). Ontologies are represented and interpreted in (many-sorted) first-order logic. Five…
To analyse and verify the safety and security properties of interactive systems, a formal specification might be necessary. There are many types of formal languages and frameworks. The decision regarding what type of formal specification…
In a world where communication and information sharing are at the heart of our business, the terminology needs are most pressing. It has become imperative to identify the terms used and defined in a consensual and coherent way while…
We study the notion of hierarchy in the context of visualizing textual data and navigating text collections. A formal framework for ``hierarchy'' is given by an ultrametric topology. This provides us with a theoretical foundation for…
This paper continues the discussion of the representation of ontologies in the first-order logical environment FOLE. According to Gruber, an ontology defines the primitives with which to model the knowledge resources for a community of…
The sharing of ontologies between diverse communities of discourse allows them to compare their own information structures with that of other communities that share a common terminology and semantics - ontology sharing facilitates…
Ontology is the explicit and formal representation of the concepts in a domain and relations among them. Transportation science is a wide domain dealing with mobility over various complex and interconnected transportation systems, such as…
In recent years there has been a substantial increase in the availability of datasets which contain information about the location and timing of an event or group of events and the application of methods to analyse spatio-temporal datasets…
The present study is aimed at analysing the benefits of an ontological approach in Functional Structural Plant Modelling. The ontological approach has been used at two levels, to refine the conceptual modelling approach, and to define the…
This paper introduces LTLF, a temporal logic designed to express the frequency properties of event series in a natural but rigorous manner. By introducing novel, measure-sensitive operators, LTLF allows for the evaluation of frequencies and…
The SemanticWeb emerged as an extension to the traditional Web, towards adding meaning to a distributed Web of structured and linked data. At its core, the concept of ontology provides the means to semantically describe and structure…
