Semantic Modeling with SUMO
Robert B. Allen
We explore using the Suggested Upper Merged Ontology (SUMO) to develop a semantic simulation. We provide two proof-of-concept demonstrations modeling transitions in a simulated gas…
Definitions and Semantic Simulations Based on Object-Oriented Analysis and Modeling
Robert B. Allen
We have proposed going beyond traditional ontologies to use rich semantics implemented in programming languages for modeling. In this paper, we discuss the application of executabl…
Issues for Using Semantic Modeling to Represent Mechanisms
Robert B Allen
Mechanisms are a fundamental concept in many areas of science. Nonetheless, there has been little effort to develop structures to represent mechanisms. We explore the issues in dev…
Coordinating and Integrating Faceted Classification with Rich Semantic Modeling
Robert B. Allen, Jaihyun Park
Faceted classifications define dimensions for the types of entities included. In effect, the facets provide an "ontological commitment". We compare a faceted thesaurus, the Art and…
XFO: Toward Programming Rich Semantic Models
Robert B. Allen, Teryn K. Jones
We have proposed that ontologies and programming languages should be more closely aligned. Specifically, we have argued that the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO2) has many features that…
Semantic Modeling with Foundries
Robert B. Allen, Yoonhwan Kim
We analyze challenges for the development of the Human Activities and Infrastructures Foundry. We explore a rich semantic modeling approach to describe two Korean ceramic water dro…
A Foundry of Human Activities and Infrastructures
Robert B. Allen, Eunsang Yang, Tatsawan Timakum
Direct representation knowledgebases can enhance and even provide an alternative to document-centered digital libraries. Here we consider realist semantic modeling of everyday acti…
Rich Semantic Models and Knowledgebases for Highly-Structured Scientific Communication
Robert B. Allen
Rather than using text for scientific research reports, we have proposed developing highly-structured reports with rich semantic models. In this paper, we consider detailed structu…
From Ontology to Structured Applied Epistemology
Robert B. Allen
Developing and organizing new knowledge is a core activity for scholars. Recently, ontologies have been introduced as an approach for organizing knowledge. However, most ontologies…
Repositories with Direct Representation
Robert Burnell Allen
A new generation of digital repositories could be based on direct representation of the contents with rich semantics and models rather than be collections of documents. The content…
Structured Descriptions of Roles, Activities,and Procedures in the Roman Constitution
Yoonmi Chu, Robert B. Allen
A highly structured description of entities and events in histories can support flexible exploration of those histories by users and, ultimately, support richly-linked full-text di…
Improving Access to Digitized Historical Newspapers with Text Mining, Coordinated Models, and Formative User Interface Design
Robert B. Allen
Most tools for accessing digitized historical newspapers emphasize relatively simple search; but, as increasing numbers of digitized historical newspapers and other historical reso…
Toward an Interactive Directory for Norfolk, Nebraska: 1899-1900
Robert B. Allen
We describe steps toward an interactive directory for the town of Norfolk, Nebraska for the years 1899 and 1900. This directory would extend the traditional city directory by inclu…
Supporting Structured Browsing for Full-Text Scientific Research Reports
Robert B. Allen
Scientific research is highly structured and some of that structure is reflected in research reports. Traditional scientific research reports are yielding to interactive documents…
