In this paper we describe a rule-based approach to semantic specification that can be used to establish semantic agreement between a source and receiver. Query processing techniqu...
The lexical entry for a word must contain all the information needed to construct a semantic representation for sentences that contain the word. Because of that requirement, the f...
This paper argues for a two-level theory of semantics as opposed to a one-level theory, based on the example of the system of temporal and durationM connectives. Instead of identi...
Semantics represents a major problem area for active databases inasmuch as (i) there is l framework for defining the abstract semantics of active rules, and (ii) the various syst...
This paper presents a general approach to automatically validate code-improving transformations on low-level program representations. The approach ensures the correctness of compi...
Functional descriptions are a central pillar of Semantic Web services. Disregarding details on how to invoke and consume the service, they shall provide a black box description for...
Abstract. Semantic Web Services were developed with the goal of automating the integration of business processes on the Web. The main idea is to express the functionality of the se...
The Semantic Web (SW) offers an opportunity to develop novel, sophisticated forms of question answering (QA). Specifically, the availability of distributed semantic markup on a lar...
Abstract. Automatic extraction of semantic relationships between entity instances in an ontology is useful for attaching richer semantic metadata to documents. In this paper we pro...
