Synthesis Lectures on Data Semantics and Knowledge: Formal Methods for the Analysis of Biomedical Ontologies (Hardcover)

The book synthesizes research on the analysis of biomedical ontologies using formal concept analysis including through auditing curation and enhancement. As the evolution of biomedical ontologies almost inevitably involves manual work formal methods... more

The Springer International Engineering and Computer Science: Lexical Semantics and Knowledge Representation in Multilingual Text Generation (Hardcover)

In knowledge-based natural language generation issues of formal knowledge representation meet with the linguistic problems of choosing the most appropriate verbalization in a particular situation of utterance. Lexical Semantics and Knowledge... more

Semantics Structures in Computation: Domain Theory Logic and Computation: Proceedings of the 2nd International Symposium on Domain Theory Sichuan China October 2001 (Hardcover)

Domains are mathematical structures for information and approximation; they combine order-theoretic logical and topological ideas and provide a natural framework for modelling and reasoning about computation. The theory of domains has proved to be a... more
