Re: [ontolog-forum] Evaluating Knowledge Representation (KR), Proper Nam

One could think of Representation of a domain model concerning "skin cancer detection and diagnostics". The model can be mathematical or visual (conceptual) for example group theory from Wigner's a Representation for Quantum Mechanics. Similarly tools such as Fluent "represent" realistic property of fluid flow and Navier-Stokes Equations model the same mathematically.

Business or Systems requirements can be represented by UML Use Cases, etc.

Another related fact to keep in mind that models are approximations of nature of object. In classical limit gravity is adequately represented by Newton's Equations but for more accuracy Einstein's formalism or equations (for special or general relativity as the case might be) provide a better "framework" or "representation". Realization of a theory, phenomena or concept often have range of validity of models or their "representations".

 

Hope it is helpful and not complicating a complex concept further!

 

Thanks.

Dear colleagues, fellow ontologists and Knowledge Representation experts:

I have two questions that are of direct importance to my dissertation that is most directly related to the subject I am discussing here.

Questions I am asking might seem naive, but I am attempt is to actually be precise and specific with terms that are casually used 

hence I am asking this expert group:

1. Is Knowledge Representation an artifact? If one is to develop a KR for a particular domain (hypothetically speaking - skin cancer detection and diagnosis) 

would it most appropriate labeling be Skin Cancer Knowledge Representation, Skin Cancer Knowledge Representation Scheme, 

Skin Cancer Knowledge Representation Framework or Knowledge Representation for Skin Cancer?

2. If one is to develop a KR for Skin Cancer, what would be the way to evaluate the KR? What would be the method and the criteria.

I will be most grateful for your advices and references to a good, practical literature on this topic. I think I made a solid progress on this 

subject in my dissertation proposal, but I would like to "tighten" it up.

Thank you,

Edmon
