Whose “Fault” Is This? Untangling Domain Concepts in an Ontology of Resilient Computing
No full textCertain ontology domain concepts are difficult to model due to the complexity of their definition, the number of roles that they fulfill or the different types of relationships they participate in. To assist ontologists in overcoming these challenges, a comparative analysis of two Ontology Design Patterns (ODPs) has been carried out. A terminology is introduced that describes the role and certain reusability scenarios of domain concepts in the ODPs studied. These findings make explicit certain potentially implicit modeling decisions previously taken in the ontology modeling field. Our contribution is illustrated with a concrete example from an ontology of resilient computing that will benefit from the outcome of this study

How to Reuse a Faceted Classification and Put it on the Semantic Web
No full textThere are ontology domain concepts that can be represented according to multiple alternative classification criteria. Current ontology modeling guidelines do not explicitly consider this aspect in the representation of such concepts. To assist with this issue, we examined a domain-specific simplified model for facet analysis used in Library Science. This model produces a Faceted Classification Scheme (FCS) which accounts for the multiple alternative classification criteria of the domain concept under scrutiny. A comparative analysis between a FCS and the Normalisation Ontology Design Pattern (ODP) indicates the existence of key similarities between the elements in the generic structure of both knowledge representation models. As a result, a mapping is identified that allows to transform a FCS into an OWL DL ontology applying the Normalisation ODP. Our contribution is illustrated with an existing FCS example in the domain of "Dishwashing Detergent" that benefits from the outcome of this study
Alignment of Ontology Design Patterns: Class As Property Value, Value Partition and Normalisation
No full textDesign-pattern driven ontology construction, whether manual or (partially) automated, relies on the availability of curated repositories of Ontology Design Patterns (ODPs) adequately characterized. In order to consistently apply a given ODP, not only it is important to characterize it in full, but also examine its alignment or deviation to other relevant ODPs in relation to it. Otherwise, possible inconsistencies in the application can lead to interoperability issues among the ontology models involved.In that context, this paper revisits a specific version of three different ODPs: Class as a Property Value (CPV), Value Partition (VP) and Normalisation. The review of the CPV identifies two distinct modelling problems being tangled that prompt to decouple the pattern into two variants: a strict and a coarse CPV pattern. The examination continues with a comparative analysis among the patterns that reveals key alignments and differences at the structural and semantic level. These findings extends the reusability and compositional characteristics of the strict and coarse variants of the CPV ODP in relation to the other two patterns.To illustrate our contribution existing examples in the literature are revisited. They demonstrate the alignments, differences and prototypical OWL idioms identified, which can assist ontology practitioners in mitigating the opportunity for inconsistencies when applying these recurrent ontology building blocks.<br/
Faceted Classification Scheme ODP
No full textThe Faceted Classification Scheme (FCS) ODP is a Reengineering ODP that transforms a non-ontological resource from the field of Library and Information Science, also known as Faceted Classification Scheme, into an ontological resource. The ontological resource corresponds to an OWL DL model that results from a specific application of the Normalisation ODP based on a series of (a) alignments between the two conceptual models and (b) transformation guidelines

The Bene Israel of India: Politics, Religion, and Systemic Change
No full textThis dissertation will present a partial analysis of the history, religious tradition and change, social life, and political status of the Bene Israel. The other two communities will be described only insofar as their activities have influenced the cultural evolution of the Bene Israel. Narrowing the focus even further, this is a description of the Bene Israel in Bombay. Although there are smaller communities of Bene Israel outside Bombay, they have been omitted because they are not representative of the community. In both New Delhi and Poona, this author was told that to understand what has happened to the Bene Israel, he must study in Bombay
Carmelo Bene and the gap in the actor’s gesture
No full text When Italian actor, director, and writer Carmelo Bene conceived Lorenzaccio (1986), under the same title he created a philosophical tale and a performance about Lorenzino De’ Medici. In these works, Bene offers a provocative reflection on the relation existing between the presentness of the act and the historiographical attempt to account for it, once it has passed and been deemed historical action. Questioning representation as a tool of historiography and an instrument of psychological investigation of the subject’s intention, Bene places the act within the domain of performance and removes it from the domain of history. Hence, he shifts his focus from the historical action to the performatic experience embedded in the actor’s gesture. In this article, the author shows how Bene offers a theatre as philosophy in performance, where the actor contributes to understanding the intellectual reach of the act of performing and seizes its potential in critiquing humanist models of subjectivity and history. </jats:p
Carmelo Bene, a Stuttering War Machine
No full textThis article presents one of the topics raised by the research in progress on the work of the Italian artist Carmelo Bene. The author resumes a relation already made at the beginning of the research between the Benean actorial machine and the Deleuzean-Guattarian war machine, adding elements from an approach of stuttering in Gilles Deleuze, as well as from materials and experiences collected in the field research developed in Italy and France along the last three years. The initial goal of the research was to study the concepts that Carmelo Bene created in scene, seeking a closeness to what was original in his work. From the observation of the multiplicity of Bene’s theoretical and artistic alliances, it became necessary to interrogate and contaminate the research and writing modes themselves, establishing a production by means of fragments and closeness, being this text one of them.Cet article presente l’un des sujets soulevés par la recherche de l’oeuvre de l’artiste italien Carmelo Bene, toujours en cours. L’auteur reprend une relation qu’elle avait faite au début de sa recherche entre la machine actorielle bénéenne et la machine de guerre deleuze-guattarienne, en les ajoutant un abordage du bégayage chez Deleuze et par le biais de matériels et d’expériences recueillis lors de recherches de terrain menées en Italie et en France depuis 2014. La recherche avait comme objectif initial une étude des concepts que Carmelo Bene avait créés sur la scene, en cherchant ce qui était original dans son travail. La connaissance de la multiplicité des aliances théoriques et artistiques de Bene imposait la necessite d’interroger et de contaminer les propres modes de recherche et d’écrite, établissant une production par fragments et approximations dont le présent texte en est une tentative.This article presents one of the topics raised by the research in progress on the work of the Italian artist Carmelo Bene.

Perché parlare di ACNP in un seminario su SBN?
No full textIl Servizio Bibliotecario Nazionale nacque alla fine degli anni Ottanta come una risposta alla necessità per il nostro paese di dotarsi di un’unica struttura per l’accesso all’informazione, funzionale alla formazione e all’educazione permanente dei cittadini. Da allora molto è stato fatto, ma siamo ancora lontani dall’uso del singolare. Esistono dei servizi bibliotecari nazionali che funzionano bene, ma che non sempre si integrano e questo implica una dispersione di risorse non più sostenibile dalle biblioteche. ACNP e NILDE sono dei servizi bibliotecari a copertura nazionale, nati e cresciuti nel contesto della ricerca e del mondo accademico, dove svolgono una funzione spesso essenziale per gli utenti delle biblioteche. Ha dunque ancora senso non considerarli parte di quell’unico Servizio Bibliotecario Nazionale pensato e voluto come un’unica struttura per l’accesso all’informazione
