Context-aware Object Typicality Measurement in Fuzzy Ontology

  • Chapter
Fuzzy Computational Ontologies in Contexts

Abstract

In Chapter 6, we proposed a better ontology model which can overcome the limitations of our first model. However, psychologists find that context is important in measuring object typicality [1]. In this chapter, we present a formal model of context-aware ontology with multi-prototype concept and object typicality based on studies of cognitive psychology. It can be used to formalize object typicality in context-aware ontology, which is a capability not featured in previous models.
