| |  | Ide, Nancy | Historical Ontologies read moreAbstract: Static ontologies cannot capture the relevant contextual knowledge required
for search and retrieval of historical documents because the entities in the
world and the relations among them change over time. This demands that
information represented in the ontology is temporally contextualized and that
relations among entities that are relevant during different temporal intervals
are available to support user queries. Furthermore, it is necessary to account
for the fact that the course of the ontology’s evolution and the processes that
have effected it are a part of the knowledge that should be brought to bear on
the analysis of information at any given time. This chapter outlines a model for
historical ontologies that is intended to meet these requirements. | 2007 |
| | | Grenon, Pierre | SNAP and SPAN: Towards Dynamic Spatial Ontology read moreAbstract: We propose a modular ontology of the dynamic features of reality. This
amounts, on the one hand, to a purely spatial ontology supporting snapshot views of the world at successive instants of time and, on the other hand, to a purely spatiotemporal ontology of change and process. We argue that dynamic spatial ontology must combine these two distinct types of inventory of the entities and relationships in reality, and we provide characterizations of spatiotemporal reasoning in the light of the interconnections between them. | 2004 |
