Introduction to semantic knowledge base: Linguistic module
2013
Following paper presents main concepts of Semantic Knowledge Base in particular linguistic module. The main assumption is to develop solution that would be easily adoptable by various languages. The module design will be presented in Association Oriented Model to maintain inner compatibility of the Knowledgebase.
Automated vehicles' work planning in flexible manufacturing systems
2006
The problem of rules setting in coordination of automated vehicles access to shared system resources (sections of their transportation paths) which assure a deadlock free and starvation free flow of the executed processes belongs to NP-hard problems. Assuming that there are local (controlling access to shared resources) rules of priority dispatching, the problem deals with setting conditions sufficient for a pair (initial state, set of priority dispatching rules). The assumed knowledge base way of specifying a transportation subsystem leads to solving a logic-algebraic method decision problem. In this regard, the working knowledge representation synthesis method constitutes a significant co…
A hybrid scheme for action representation
1993
Strong deficiencies are present in symbolic models for action representation and planning, regarding mainly the difficulty of coping with real, complex environments. These deficiencies can be attributed to several problems, such as the inadequacy in coping with incompletely structured situations, the difficulty of interacting with visual and motorial aspects, the difficulty in representing low-level knowledge, the need to specify the problem at a high level of detail, and so on. Besides the purely symbolic approaches, several nonsymbolic models have been developed, such as the recent class of subsym-bolic techniques. A promising paradigm for the modeling of reasoning, which combines feature…
Are there individual concepts? Proper names and individual concepts in SI—Nets
1989
We discuss some aspects of the role played by descriptional knowledge in expressions denoting individual objects. In knowledge representation systems such as KL-ONE and KRYPTON which use semantic networks to express descriptional information, the problem is to establish whether the use of individual concepts in a network is justified. In the light of theoretical and applicational considerations, in the proposed solution only definite descriptions are considered as being characterizable by means of definitions. Vice versa, proper names, in the strict sense, will be treated as having no definitional dimension, and as such only appear in the assertional knowledge base. A description is given o…
On Line Elaboration of a Mental Model During the Understanding of an Animation
2006
This experiment examines how, high and low mechanical and spatial abilities, learners understand an animation. Two variables were manipulated: the controllability of the animations and the task type of the learners to study the device. The comprehension test results indicated a positive effect of a fully controllable animation and also a positive effect of task type, when the attention of the learner is focused on the functional model and on local kinematics. The eye tracking data indicated that the learners attend more to the areas of the animations where a great amount of motion is involved along the causal chain of events. We show an effect of the controllability of the system and of the…
Knowledge Representation in Travelling Texts:from Mirroring to Missing the Point
2014
<p><em>Today, information travels fast. Texts travel, too. In a corporate context, the question is how to manage which knowledge elements should travel to a new language area or market and in which form? The decision to let knowledge elements travel or not travel highly depends on the limitation and the purpose of the text in a new context as well as on predefined parameters for text travel. For texts used in marketing and in technology, the question is whether culture-bound knowledge elements should be domesticated or kept as foreign elements, or should be mirrored or moulded—or should not travel at all! When should semantic and pragmatic elements in a text be replaced and by w…

On the influence of national culture on knowledge sharing
2013
Organisaatioiden välinen kilpailu on koventunut viime vuosikymmeninä globalisoitumisen takia. Myös kansainvälisyys on lisääntynyt. Uusien innovaatioiden avulla voidaan parantaa yritysten kilpailukykyä. Tästä syystä yrityksien ja organisaatioiden tulisi kiinnittää huomioita uusien innovaatioiden luomiseen. Tietämyksen jakamisella ja innovaatiokyvykkyydellä on osoitettu olevan positiivinen yhteys. Tähän perustaen tietämyksen jakamiseen pitäisi kiinnittää enemmän huomiota. Kuitenkin nykyiset tietämyksen jakamisen teoriat ovat joko liian abstrakteja tai jättävät relevantteja osa-alueita teorian ulkopuolelle, jonka syystä ne eivät ole hyödyllisiä akatemian ulkopuolella. Tässä pro gradu – työssä …
The problems of ‘competence’ and alternatives from the Scandinavian perspective ofBildung
2015
The paper aims to show how competence as an educational concept for the 21st century is struggling with theoretical problems for which the concept of Bildung in the European tradition can offer alternatives, and to discuss the possibility of developing a sustainable educational concept from the perspectives of competence and Bildung. The method of the study is conceptual analysis of ‘competence’ and Bildung. The paper concludes that (1) competence must be abandoned as an educational concept, as its problems cannot be solved due to the lack of a theory of educational content. With competence, the content aspect of education is obscured and hidden from public debate, and human autonomy is thr…
Higher Education in a Knowledge Society: How to Close the Knowledge Divide
2015
In this chapter, Higher Education in a Knowledge Society: how to close the knowledge divide, Richard Ennals and Hans Christian Garmann Johnsen discuss education policy in UK and Norway, and how national conditions might influence the role that universities take in social development. The new communicative reality: mobilisation and education breaking the institutional barriers. They can be met by initiatives like Quality Circles, or a Penny University. The underlying big problem is to what extent universities are really taking a role in reducing the serious knowledge and education level divide we see in western societies.
