Architectures for complex semantic models

Abstract

We have been exploring applications for complex semantic models such as rich media science and history digital libraries. In this paper, we consider in more detail a range of services which could be implemented as well as technical details for those implementations.Many semantic tools are now available but these have rarely, if ever, been applied across broad and dynamic sets of complex instances. Modeling detailed histories involves complex entities interacting in complex ways.We consider architectures such as the Basic Formal Ontology and objectoriented models and we apply them in hybrid implementations using Jena/Java and Slate.

Semantic simulations based on object-oriented analysis and modeling

“…The example in the earlier STRUCTURED DEFINITIONS section includes some checking, but more is needed. This can be done with two-phase validation which was described in our previous work (Allen & Chu, 2015). That is, applying traditional validation of triples after every step of the model.…”

Semantic simulations based on object-oriented analysis and modeling

“…To move with a continual change of place among the constituent particles 6 The WaterFlowing routine in Figure 1 embeds the core Frame Elements along with features of this definition. Alternatively, the Fluidic_Motion Frame Elements could have been represented with the familiar functional notation: Flow (Fluid, Source, Pool, Path)…”
