Pierre, (02)
PG: These are conceptualisations. It is a useful, if nothing else,assumption
that these conceptualisations are directed towards a common reality. There is
a
useful, if nothing else, sense of ontology whereby ontology is not conceptual
modelling. Moreover, so goes the disposition, conceptual modelling can
interestingly benefit from ontology in its `absolute', truth-mongering thrust.
After all, these conceptualisations exist, and Good Old Fashion Ontology has
room for them as well, absolutely... (03)
FK: It should also occur that there is a flaw in the conceptualisations that
drive you off the track. For instance one of the authors of SUMO Nicola Guarino
in a pps lecture Formal Ontology andKnowledge Representation
http://www.loa-cnr.it/Files/1-FocusingOnContent.pdf
On slide Prof Guarino 22 says this:
Intension ed extension
• Intension (concept): part of meaning corresponding to general principles,
rules to be used to determine reference (typically, abstractions from
experience)
• Extension (object): part of meaning corresponding to the effective reference
• Only by means of the concept associated to the sign “cat” we can
correctly
interpret this sign in various situations
• The signʼs referent is the result of this interpretation
• Such interpretation is a situated intentional act.
ON Slide 28: Concepts, properties, and relations:terminology issues
• Non-relational concepts are often called properties
• Relational concepts are often called relations
• ...but properties and relations can be understood as intensional or
extensional... Concepts are always intensional!!
• We also assume that properties are always intensional.
• To stress the difference between intensional and extensional relations, we
shall call the former conceptual relations (04)
I am not going to include my criticism, so just check out for yourselves (05)
