Semantology as Basis for Conceptual Knowledge Processing

  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNAI,volume 4390)

Abstract

Semantology has been introduced as the theory of semantic structures and their connections which, in particular, covers the methodology of activating semantic structures for representing conceptual knowledge. It is the main aim of this paper to explain and demonstrate that semantic structures are in fact basic for conceptual knowledge processing which comprises activities such as representing, infering, acquiring, and communicating conceptual knowledge.

Keywords

  • Formal Concept
  • Conceptual Knowledge

  • Concept Lattice
  • Semantic Structure

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
