“Is It a Fleet or a Collection of Ships?”: Ontological Anti-patterns in the Modeling of Part-Whole Relations

Conceptual model visual simulation and the inductive learning of missing domain constraints

“…To validate that our approach can learn relevant constraints that are likely to be needed in practice, we use, as a ''litmus test'', 17 the catalog of empirically-elicited ontological anti-patterns developed for OntoUML [12,[49][50][51]. That is, we verify if we can automatically learn the repair suggestions embedded in some of these anti-patterns.…”

Towards a Reference Ontology of Trust

“…A further important aspect, related to the nature of Social Systems, is that they can be seen as integral wholes, whose parts play particular functional roles that contribute in specific ways to the functionality of the whole [11,28]. UFO includes micro-theories to address di↵erent types of part-whole relations [11,28] generally recognized in cognitive science [24,8]. Social Systems embody one particular kind of such parthood relations, namely, component-functional complex [28].…”

Social Systems embody one particular kind of such parthood relations, namely, component-functional complex [28]. In UFO's terminology, this "componentOf" relation is used to relate entities that are functional complexes.…”
