This arXiv paper proposes da Costian-Tarskianism, blending Carnapian-Goguenism with da Costa's tolerance principle and Tarski's consequence operators for ontological heterogeneity. It introduces extended consequence systems augmented with ontological axioms and extended development graphs for relating ontologies via morphisms, fibring, and splitting. The work discusses implications for applied ontology.
Key Points
- 1.Introduces da Costian-Tarskianism inspired by Carnap, Goguen, da Costa, and Tarski.
- 2.Defines extended consequence systems with ontological axioms.
- 3.Proposes extended development graphs supporting morphisms, fibring, and splitting.
- 4.Builds on consequence systems by Carnielli et al. and Citkin & Muravitsky.
Impact Analysis
Advances modular ontology engineering, potentially improving heterogeneous knowledge integration in AI systems like semantic webs and multi-ontology reasoning.
Technical Details
Leverages consequence system machinery for formal ontology relations. Extended graphs enable structured operations between ontologies, extending prior development graph concepts.
