TLDR
An examination of the relations among critical esthetics, ethics and logic in Peirce’s system suggests a possible account of the logic of creative discovery, which Peirces identified as abductive inference.Abstract:
In Peirce’s account of the normative sciences, logical validity and truth ultimately rely upon – though they are not reduced to – ethical and esthetic insight. An examination of the relations among critical esthetics, ethics and logic in Peirce’s system suggests a possible account of the logic of creative discovery, which Peirce identified as abductive inference.read more

Formal concept analysis as mathematical theory of concepts and concept hierarchies
TL;DR: The main concern of this paper is to show the surprisingly rich correspondences between Seiler's multifarious aspects of concepts in the human mind and the structural properties and relationships of formal concepts in Formal Concept Analysis.

Foundations of description logics
TL;DR: This chapter accompanies the foundational lecture on Description Logics (DLs) at the 7th Reasoning Web Summer School in Galway, Ireland, 2011 and introduces basic notions and facts about this family of logics which has significantly gained in importance over the recent years.

Acquisition of OWL DL Axioms from Lexical Resources
TL;DR: It is argued that inexpressive OWL ontologies with expressive axioms can serve as a core for a semi-automatic ontology engineering process supported by a methodology that integrates methods for both ontology learning and evaluation.

A proposal for combining formal concept analysis and description logics for mining relational data
TL;DR: R relational concept analysis is proposed, as an adaptation of FCA for analyzing objects described both by binary and relational attributes, and a way of representing the concepts and relations extracted with RCA is proposed in the framework of a description logic.

Knowledge Representation: Logical, Philosophical, and Computational Foundations
TL;DR: This chapter discusses knowledge representation, meaning, purpose, context, and agents in the context of ontology, as well as some examples of knowledge acquisition and sharing.
Towards a General Theory of Action and Time.
TL;DR: A formalism for reasoning about actions that is based on a temporal logic allows a much wider range of actions to be described than with previous approaches such as the situation calculus and a framework for planning in a dynamic world with external events and multiple agents is suggested.
RDF Vocabulary Description Language 1.0 : RDF Schema. W3C Proposed Recommendation
TL;DR: The Resource Description Framework (RDF) as mentioned in this paper is a general-purpose language for representing information in the Web. This specification defines a vocabulary for this purpose and defines other built-in RDF vocabulary initially specified in the RDF Model and Syntax Specification.
