I would also be interested in MODEM since Im conducting research on (cap-)abiliites.

Btw Tendency, is there a reason why (cap-)ability is not a subtype of Tendency? 

/kind regards

Thanks, Chris. I’m trying to find actual ontology-modeled dispositions and manifestations, etc. I understand about capabiities. Indeed, most architectural frameworks have notions of capabilities.  Is there a version of MODEM you can share?
 
Thanks,
Leo

Hi Leo,
 
Capabilities (a subtype of dispositions) are key to Enterprise architectures – see e.g. MODAF, MoD Architectural Framework (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MODAF).
Dispositions and their counterpart manifestations are in MODEM (a recently released ontological foundation for MODAF) and also play a part in DoDAF -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DODAF (whose first purpose, according to the wiki, is ‘Capabilities Integration and Development (JCIDS)’.

Dispositions and powers (from metaphysics) are sometimes used for scientific theories/ontologies. Does anyone actually use these analyses to develop applied ontologies? I see it used, e.g., in some analyses of quantum theory.
 
The only paper I know of on this topic is:
 
Arp, R. & Smith, B. (2008). Function, role, and disposition in basic formal ontology. In Proceedings of Bio-Ontologies Workshop (ISMB 2008) (pp. 45–48). Available from Nature Precedings at: http://hdl.handle.net/10101/npre.2008.1941.1.
 
Do you know of others?
 
Thanks,
Leo
