Abstract:
|
This project creates the first instantiation of an ontology interaction module that will convert ontological knowledge into a form that is machine useable. We propose to make a software tool that creates, modifies, or prunes an "executable ontology." Not only will the module support reasoning in the traditional forward direction of knowledge engineering, where domain knowledge is converted into a form usable by situation awareness systems, but it will support techniques that will learn trends and recognize anomalies from the current operating environment.
