“…However, this principle does not hold in general: scoliosis of thoracic spine is not kind of scoliosis of spine, although thoracic spine is part of spine, rupture of a liver vene is not kind of liver rupture, although liver vene is part of liver, odeft coloscopy is not kind of coloscopy, although left colon is part of colon. It seems that part-sensitive subsumption is intuitively out of function in those cases where "phenomenon (or action) P relating to organ 0" is disjoint to "P relating to a part of 0", and emphasis is on the difference between "entire 0" and "part of 0" [8]. In general, it is hard to decide in which cases partsensitive subsumption applies and in which not.…”

“…structures with vague borders (e. g. distal segment of femur), play a predominant role. Of particular interest for classification is the impact of partitive and spatial relations on subsumption [1,8,9]. For instance biopsy of a right liver segment is kind of liver biopsy, since right liver segment is part of liver.…”

A crucial component of a medical concept representation system is the classifier. It requires features that are not sufficiently supported by current logic based formalisms like description logics and conceptual graphs. Those features are, for instance, the representation of partitive and spatial relations and their impact on sUbsumption. This paper introduces graph oriented classification operators for a concept representation language with normal forms. Emphasis is on the separation of generic and partitive relations and on the mutual interdependence of sUbsumption and part-whole. For that purpose operators are given for formal subsumption, formal part-whole, subsumptive part-whole and part-sensitive subsumption. These operators are based on the formal structure of concept descriptions and on explicitly introduced generic and partitive relationships between their constituents.

Abstract. This chapter examines the nature of semantic relations and their main applications in information science. The nature and types of semantic relations are discussed from the perspectives of linguistics and psychology. An overview of the semantic relations used in knowledge structures such as thesauri and ontologies are provided, as well as the main techniques used in the automatic extraction of semantic relations from text. The chapter then reviews the use of semantic relations in information extraction, information retrieval, question-answering and automatic text summarization applications.

Many exploration and manipulation tasks benefit from a coherent integration of multiple views onto complex information spaces. This paper proposes the concept of Illustrative Shadows for a tight integration of interactive 3D graphics and schematic depictions using the shadow metaphor. The shadow metaphor provides an intuitive visual link between 3D and 2D visualizations integrating the different displays into one combined information display. Users interactively explore spatial relations in realistic shaded virtual models while functional correlations and additional textual information are presented on additional projection layers using a semantic network approach. Manipulations of one visualization immediately influence the others, resulting in an informationally and perceptibly coherent presentation.
