Pełny tekst źródłaA modelagem orientada a agentes surge como paradigma no desenvolvimento de software, haja vista a quantidade de iniciativas e estudos que remetem à utilização de agentes de software como solução para tratar de problemas mais complexos. Apesar da popularidade de utilização de agentes, especialistas esbarram na falta de universalidade de uma metodologia para construção dos Sistemas Multiagentes (MAS), pois estas acabam pecando pelo excesso ou falta de soluções para modelar o problema. Esta dissertação propõe o uso de uma Ontologia sobre Metodologias Multiagentes, seguindo os princípios da Engenharia de Métodos Situacionais que se propõe a usar fragmentos de métodos para construção de metodologias baseados na especificidade do projeto em desenvolvimento. O objetivo do estudo é sedimentar o conhecimento na área de Metodologias Multiagentes, auxiliando o engenheiro de software a escolher a melhor metodologia ou o melhor fragmento de metodologia capaz de modelar um Sistema Multiagentes.
The agent-oriented modeling emerges as a paradigm in software development, considering the amount of initiatives and studies that refer to the use of software agents as a solution to address more complex problems. Despite the popularity of using agents, experts bump in the lack of universality of a methodology for the construction of Multiagent Systems (MAS), as they end up sinning by excess or lack of solutions to model the problem. This thesis proposes the use of an Ontology based in Methodologies for Multi-Agent Systems, following the principles of Situational Method Engineering, which proposes to use fragments of methods for constructing methodologies based on the specificity of the development project. The aim of this work is to consolidate the knowledge in the area of Multiagent Methodologies by helping the software engineering to choose the best methodology or the best fragment method able to model a specific Multiagent System.

Pełny tekst źródłaNowadays many petroleum companies are adopting different knowledge-based systems aiming to have a better reservoir quality prediction. However, there are obstacles that not allow different background geologists to retrieve information without needing the help of an information technology expert. The main problem is the heterogeneity semantic of end users when doing queries in a visual query system (VQS). This can be worst when there is new terminology in the knowledge-base affecting the user interaction, particularly for novice users. In this context, we present theoretical and practical contributions that exploit the synergism between ontology and human computer interaction (HCI). On the theory side, we introduce the concept of ontology view for well-founded ontology and provide a formal definition and expressive power characterization. We focus in the ontology view extraction of a well-founded and complete ontology based on ontological meta-properties and propose a language independent algorithm for sub-ontology extraction, which is guided by ontological meta-properties. On the practical side, based on the principles of HCI and interaction design, we propose a new Visual Query System that uses the ontology view approach to guide the query process. Also, our design includes data visualizations that will help geologists to make sense of the retrieved data. Furthermore, we evaluated our interaction design with five users performing a usability testing through a questionnaire in a controlled experiment. The evaluation was performed over geologists that work in the area of petroleum geology. The approach proposed is evaluated on the petrography domain taking the communities of Diagenesis and MicroStructural adopting the well known criteria of precision and recall. Experimental results show that relevant terms obtained from the documents of a community varies from 30 to 66 % of precision and 4.6 to 36% of recall depending on the approach selected and the parameters combination. Furthermore, results show that almost for all the parameters combination that recall and f-measure obtained from diagenesis articles using the sub-ontology generated for the diagenesis community is greater than recall and f-measure using the sub-ontology generated for microstructural community. On the other hand, results for all the parameters combination that recall and f-measure obtained from microstructural articles using the sub-ontology generated for the microstructural community is greater than recall and f-measure using the subontology generated for diagenesis community.

Pełny tekst źródłaENGLISH ABSTRACT: Ontologies are conceptual models of a domain of discourse and are used in a number of applications to model a field of knowledge. For example, SNOMED, an ontology of medical terminology, is widely used among medical professionals. Commercial ontologies, such as SNOMED, can have hundreds of thousands of concepts. People who want to use these ontologies need an understanding thereof, but the sheer magnitude of these ontologies hampers comprehension. It was within this context that the need arose for software tools that facilitate the understanding of ontologies. Given this background, our aim is to investigate a new area within the field of ontologies, namely, ontology comprehension. We make a contribution to it by developing an ontology comprehension framework and writing a software tool of our own. This software tool, PathViz, helps users to understand how different concepts in an ontology are related to each other and what effect entailments have on the way concepts in an ontology relate to each other. The ontology comprehension framework, PathViz and the reasoning measurement instruments were found useful for ontology comprehension by participants at an ontology workshop.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Ontologieë is konseptuele modelle van ’n domein en word in verskeie toepassings gebruik om ’n kennisveld te modelleer. SNOMED is ’n voorbeeld van ’n ontologie van mediese terme wat baie gebruik word deur die mediese beroepslui. Kommersiële ontologieë, soos SNOMED, kan bestaan uit duisende konsepte. Dit is belangrik om hierdie ontologieë wat gebruik word te verstaan, maar die enorme omvang van hierdie ontologieë belemmer die verstaanproses. In hierdie konteks het die behoefte ontstaan vir programmatuur wat die verstaanproses van ontologieë vergemaklik. Met hierdie agtergrond inaggenome, is dit ons doel om ’n nuwe area in die veld van ontologieë te ondersoek, naamlik, Ontologie-begrip. Ons maak ’n bydra tot hierdie veld deur ’n raamwerk vir ontologie-begrip te ontwikkel en programmatuur van ons eie te skryf. Hierdie programmatuur, PathViz, help gebruikers om te verstaan hoe verskillende konsepte in ’n ontologie aan mekaar verwant is. Verder help dit gebruikers om te verstaan watter invloed afleidings uit die ontologieë het op konsepverwantskappe. Deelnemers aan ’n ontologie-werkswinkel het gevind dat die raamwerk vir ontologie-begrip, PathViz en die instrumente wat die invloed van die ontologie-redeneerder meet, ontologie-begrip bevorder.

Pełny tekst źródłaOn the one hand, ontologies provide a means of formally specifying complex descriptions and relationships about information in a way that is expressive yet amenable to automated processing and reasoning. When data are annotated using terms from an ontology, the instances inhere in formal semantics. Compared to an ontology, which may have as few as a dozen or as many as tens of thousands of terms, the annotated instances for the ontology are often several orders of magnitude larger, from millions to possibly trillions of instances. Unfortunately, existing reasoning techniques cannot scale to these sizes. On the other hand, relational database management systems provide mechanisms for storing, retrieving, and maintaining the integrity of large amounts of data. Relational database management systems are well known for scaling to extremely large sizes of data, some claiming to manage over a quadrillion data. This dissertation defines ontology databases as a mapping from ontologies to relational databases in order to combine the expressiveness of ontologies with the scalability of relational databases. This mapping is sound and, under certain conditions, complete. That is, the database behaves like a knowledge base which is faithful to the semantics of a given ontology. What distinguishes this work is the treatment of the relational database management system as an active reasoning component rather than as a passive storage and retrieval system. The main contributions this dissertation will highlight include: (i) the theory and implementation particulars for mapping ontologies to databases, (ii) subsumption based reasoning, (iii) inconsistency detection, (iv) scalability studies, and (v) information integration (specifically, information exchange). This work is novel because it is the first attempt to embed a logical reasoning system, specified by a Semantic Web ontology, into a plain relational database management system using active database technologies. This work also introduces the not-gadget , which relaxes the closed-world assumption and increases the expressive power of the logical system without significant cost. This work also demonstrates how to deploy the same framework as an information integration system for data exchange scenarios, which is an important step toward semantic information integration over distributed data repositories.

As ontologias surgiram a partir de discussões na Filosofia com o objetivo de discutir a essência das coisas, nos estudos da metafísica por Aristóteles, que dentre os diferentes ramos de investigação filosófica, tratava do conhecimento da essência de toda a realidade. A ontologia trata do estudo do “Ser” enquanto ser. O termo foi posteriormente utilizado em diferentes áreas como a Ciência da Computação (CC), Psicologia, Ciência da Informação (CI), entre outros. Nesse texto é apresentado um levantamento da utilização das ontologias na representação do conhecimento, identificando e destacando a forma de utilização da ontologia como ferramenta na CC e CI. Para tal, o trabalho inicial com uma contextualização do termo ontologia, desde a sua origem na Filosofia até a sua utilização em algumas das áreas do conhecimento. Em seguida é apresentado um levantamento sobre a representação do conhecimento, a destacar a CC e CI, bem como sobre a utilização da ontologia nesse contexto informacional. Afim de evidenciar a importância das ontologias para representação do conhecimento, também são listadas as principais metodologias de criação de ontologia, aprendizado de ontologia, bem como as ferramentas utilizadas para essas tarefas, além do gerenciamento e engenharia de ontologias. E por fim são apresentadas as considerações finais acerca da utilização das ontologias como ferramentas semânticas na CI e como as futuruas pesquisas podem se beneficiar desse trabalho como uma base para o entendimento das ontologias como ferramenta semântica na CI.
Ontologies come from discussions in Philosophy to debate the essence of things in Aristotle's studies of metaphysics, which among the different branches of philosophical inquiry dealt with the knowledge of the essence of all reality. Ontology deals with the study of "Being" as being. The term was later used in different areas such as Computer Science (CC), Psychology, Information Science (IS), andothers. This thesis presents a survey of the use of ontologies in knowledge representation, identifying and highlighting how ontology is used as a semantic tool in CC and IS. For this, is presented a contextualization of the term ontology, from its origin in Philosophy to its use in some of the areas of knowledge. Next, a survey is presented on the representation of knowledge, highlighting the CC and IS, as well as on the use of the ontology in this informational context. In order to demonstrate the importance of ontologies for knowledge representation, the main methodologies for ontology creation, ontology learning, as well as the tools used for these tasks, as well as the management and engineering of ontologies are also listed. Finally, it's present the final considerations about the use of ontologies as semantic tools in IS and how future researches can benefit from this work as a basis for the understanding of ontologies as a semantic tool in IS.

Pełny tekst źródłaThis thesis concerns the scope of knowledge management using ontological models.To represent domain knowledge, we design a hybrid ontology on two levels: In a local level, each experts’ group has designed its own ontology. In a global level, a consensual ontology containing all the shared knowledge is automatically created.We design a computer-aided system to help experts in the process of mapping creation. It allows experts to choice similarity measures relatively to the ontology characteristics, to reuse the calculated similarities and to verify the consistency of the created mappings.In addition, local ontologies can be updated. This involves modifications in the global ontology and on the created mappings. A relevant approach of our domain was developed.In particular, ontology versioning is used in order to keep a record of all the occurred modifications in the ontologies; it allows to return at any time a previous version of the hybrid ontology.The exploited domain is geotechnics which gathers various business experts. A prototype is in progress and currently does not still captures ontology evolution

Pełny tekst źródłaConsiderando que modelos conceituais são produzidos com o objetivo de representar certos aspectos do mundo físico e social de acordo com uma conceituação específica e que ontologias buscam descrever conceituações, tem havido crescente interesse no uso de ontologias para fornecer uma base teórica sólida para a disciplina de modelagem conceitual. Esse interesse deu origem a uma área de pesquisa denominada modelagem conceitual baseada em ontologias, com avanços significativos na modelagem conceitual nas últimas décadas. Apesar desses avanços, a modelagem baseada em ontologias não provê suporte adequado à modelagem de domínios que exigem a representação de categorias de indivíduos e de categorias de categorias (ou tipos de tipos). A representação de entidades de vários "níveis" de classificação tem sido o foco de uma área de pesquisa distinta denominada modelagem multi-nível. As iniciativas em modelagem multi-nível visam a contornar as limitações impostas pelo paradigma convencional de modelagem em dois níveis. Apesar das contribuições relevantes das áreas de modelagem multi-nível e de modelagem conceitual baseada em ontologias, a combinação dessas duas áreas ainda não recebeu a devida atenção. Este trabalho explora essa lacuna propondo o uso combinado de teorias formais para a modelagem multi-nível e de ontologias de fundamentação para apoiar o que chamamos de modelagem conceitual multi-nível baseada em ontologias. Para fornecer uma abordagem bem fundamentada à modelagem conceitual multi-nível, desenvolvemos uma teoria chamada MLT. MLT caracteriza formalmente a natureza dos níveis de classificação e define precisamente as relações que podem ocorrer entre elementos de diferentes níveis de classificação. A fim de aproveitar os benefícios do uso de ontologias de fundamentação na modelagem de domínios que abrangem vários níveis de classificação, combinamos MLT com uma ontologia de fundamentação. Essa combinação resulta em uma abordagem de modelagem que apoia a construção de modelos conceituais multi-níveis em um espectro de níveis de especificidade, desde ontologias de fundamentação até modelos conceituas de domínios específicos. Para demonstrar a aplicabilidade da nossa abordagem de modelagem conceitual multi-nível baseada em ontologias, a empregamos para desenvolver uma ontologia núcleo para estruturas organizacionais, um domínio que abrange vários níveis de classificação. Além disso, mostramos como MLT pode ser usada como uma teoria de referência para esclarecer a semântica e aumentar a expressividade de UML no que diz respeito à representação de modelos de multi-níveis. O perfil UML produzido viabiliza a aplicação prática de MLT pela comunidade de modelagem conceitual.

Pełny tekst źródłaIn the first section it is argued that the exposures that attempt to conform to the desideratum of neutrality are not sufficiently illuminating. This is followed by two ways of making the family of relations of ontological dependence manageable: the cases that theoretically fall into it, and the function that it fulfills. The second chapter is devoted entirely to making explicit the notion of existence by understanding it, either as a non-real property, or as a real property. It is argued that the first notion does not allow the existential dependence to be made comprehensible. The first parts of the second chapter are devoted to exposing the family of existential dependency relationships. Subsequently the specific existential dependence and the problems that are usually taken into account are presented: the mere modal association, the dependent symmetry between essential properties and substances, and the dependence given between the life of an individual and the individual in question. It is argued that the strict conditional has to be replaced by a relevant conditional whose relevance is given by the modal operator of metaphysical necessity. The third part of the second chapter focuses on generic dependence and dictum according to which it characterizes the immanent conception of universals. It is argued that if the relationship of dependence is presumably asymmetric and this conception is taken à la Armstrong, then the dictum is false. And, secondly, cases are offered for not taking the generic dependency relation as a case of instantiation. The third chapter is intended to present different models. It exposes the direct relationship and without intermediaries that seems to be at the base of both Aristotle and Suarez. Within the spinozist exegesis there are two interpretations compatible with the texts according to which either there is identity between Naturam naturatam and Naturam naturantem exposed in terms of instantiation, or else there is difference. It is argued in favor of the second. The section is closed with a number of seemingly inconsistent statements attributable to Leibniz. It is proposed that inconsistency commits misleading fallacy in interpreting "existence" in the same way in one statement than in another. To end, Fine’s proposal is evaluated, proposing that while the monist models collect the essential dependence, they do not satisfy his characterization. The sixth chapter is devoted to essential dependence, initially presenting the semantic field associated with that which makes a thing what it is: nature, essence (quidditas), haecceitas, realitas, and how different relations of dependence would arise. To end, Fine’s proposal is evaluated, proposing that while the monist models collect the essential dependence, they do not satisfy its characterization.
Mesa, Villajos Alejandro. "El humor como límite en la tradición occidental". Doctoral thesis, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, 2021. http://hdl.handle.net/10803/671737.
Pełny tekst źródłaEsta tesis desarrolla una filosofía del humor desde el enfoque de una ontología relacional. De forma general, las teorías de la risa han tratado de responder, a lo largo del S. XX, a la pregunta ¿por qué reímos? Esta es una pregunta de gran relevancia. Sin embargo, la pregunta que funda esta investigación es: ¿Qué papel ocupa el humor en el seno del pensamiento occidental? La hipótesis principal dice que el humor opera como límite en la tradición occidental. Esto significa que el humor ocupa un papel y un lugar tensional entre lo infinito y lo finito que se dan en la existencia humana. Con todo, el humor no apela a una trascendencia del modo en que lo hace la fe. La infinitud en el humor reside en otro lugar. En esta tesis, el humor como límite se expresa de tres modos: como duda, como excepción y como exceso. A través de estas tres nociones, se procura una aproximación a los conflictos que el humor se encuentra en la tradición occidental y se observa una diferencia entre el humor y otras categorías que, si bien guardan cierto parecido en el gesto, difieren de él. Como duda, como excepción y como exceso, el humor da cuenta de la imposibilidad de subsumir toda la realidad a un Universal abstracto, a una lógica de la representación en la que solo cabe lo particular como representación de lo Universal. En este sentido, el estudio del humor como límite lo muestra como agente clave en la emergencia de lo singular y, en consecuencia, como herramienta con la que estudiar una dimensión ajena al esquema Universal/particular. La operatividad del humor como límite implica repensar las teorías de la incongruencia. Estas teorías comparten la idea de que el humor se produce ante algún tipo de incongruencia. Esta idea es compartida y extendida por esta tesis: pensar el humor como límite significa pensar en el reverso ontológico de la incongruencia. Pero, ¿qué es lo incongruente, inadecuado o chocante en el humor? El trasfondo de todas las incongruencias humorísticas no es una naturaleza, un a priori o una esencia, sino una perplejidad ante la dualidad paradójica que conforma la existencia.
This thesis develops a philosophy of humor from a relational ontology approach. In general, laughter theories have tried to answer, during the 20th century, the question why do we laugh? This is a very relevant question. However, the question which establishes this research is the next one: What role does humor occupy within Western thought? The main hypothesis is that humor operates as a limit in Western tradition. This means that humor takes a role and a tension place between the infinite and the finite that happens in human existence. Nevertheless, humor does not appeal to transcendence in the way that faith does. The infinity in humor is elsewhere. In this thesis, humor as a limit is expressed in three ways: as doubt, as exception and as excess. Through these three notions, an approach is sought to the conflicts that humor finds in Western tradition, as well as a difference is catched, and that difference allows distinguishing humor from other categories that, although they have a certain similarity in the gesture, they are very different from humor. As a doubt, as an exception and as an excess, humor accounts for the impossibility to subsume the whole reality to an abstract Universal, to a logic of representation where the particular only has place as a representation of the Universal. In this sense, the study of humor as a limit defines it as a key agent in the emergence of the singular and, therefore, as a tool to study a dimension alien to the Universal/particular scheme. The operability of humor as a limit implies rethinking the theories of incongruity. These theories share the idea that humor occurs in the face of some kind of incongruity. This idea is shared and extended by this thesis: thinking about humor as a limit means thinking about the ontological reverse of incongruity. But, what is incongruous, inappropriate, or shocking about humor? The background of all the humorous incongruities is not a nature, an a priori or an essence, but a perplexity before the paradoxical duality that shapes existence.

Pełny tekst źródłaClustering algorithms have focused on the management of numerical and categorical data. However, in the last years, textual information has grown in importance. Proper processing of this kind of information within data mining methods requires an interpretation of their meaning at a semantic level. In this work, a clustering method aimed to interpret, in an integrated manner, numerical, categorical and textual data is presented. Textual data will be interpreted by means of semantic similarity measures. These measures calculate the alikeness between words by exploiting one or several knowledge sources. In this work we also propose two new ways of compute semantic similarity based on 1) the exploitation of the taxonomical knowledge available on one or several ontologies and 2) the estimation of the information distribution of terms in the Web. Results show that a proper interpretation of textual data at a semantic level improves clustering results and eases the interpretability of the classifications

Pełny tekst źródłaOntology driven conceptual modeling focuses on accurately representing a domain of interest, instead of making information fit an arbitrary set of constructs. It may be used for different purposes, like to achieve semantic interoperability (Nardi, Falbo and Almeida, 2013), development of knowledge representation models (Guizzardi and Zamborlini, 2012) and language evaluation (Santos, Almeida and Guizzardi,2010). Regardless its final application, a model must be accurately defined in order for it to be a successful solution. This new branch of conceptual modeling improves traditional techniques by taking into consideration ontological properties, such as rigidity, identity and dependence, which are derived from a foundational ontology. This increasing interest in more expressive languages for conceptual modeling is shown by OMGs request for language proposals for the Semantic Information Model Federation (SIMF) (OMG,2011). OntoUML (Guizzardi, 2005) is an example of a language designed for that purpose.Its metamodel (Carraretto, 2010) is designed to comply to the Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO). It focus on structural aspects of individuals and universals.Grounded on human cognition and linguistics, it aims to provide the most basic categories in which humans understand and classify things around them.In (Guizzardi, 2010) Guizzardi quotes the famous Dijkstras lecture, in which he discusses the humble programmer and makes an analogy entitled the humble ontologist. He argues that the task of ontology-driven conceptual modeling is extremely complex and thus, modelers should surround themselves with as many tools as possible to aid in the development of the ontology. These complexities arise from different sources. A couple of them come from foundational ontology itself, both its modal nature, which imposes modelers to deal with possibilities, and the many different restrictions of each ontological category. But they also come from the need of accurately defining instance level constraints, which require additional rules, outside of the languages graphical notation. To help modelers to develop high quality OntoUML models, a number of tools have been proposed to aid in different phases of conceptual modeling. From the construction of the models themselves using design patterns questions (Guizzardi et al., 2011), to automatic syntax verification (Benevides, 2010) and model validation through simulation (Benevides et al., 2010). The importance of domain specification that accurately captures the intended conceptualization has been recognized by both the traditional conceptual modeling community (Moody et al., 2003) and the ontology community (Vrandečić, 2009). In this research we want to improve (Benevides et al., 2010) initiative, but focus exclusively on the validation of ontology driven conceptual models, and not on verification. With the complexity of the modeling activity in mind, we want to help modelers to systematically produce high quality ontologies, improving precision and coverage (Gangemi et al., 2005) of the models. We intend to make the simulationbased approach available for users that are not experts in the formal method, relieving them of the need to learn yet another language, solely for the purpose of validating their models.

This work encompasses elements of a study of knowlwedge representation founded on ontologies that have Linux testing as target domain. The study aims at demonstrating that once knowledge is formalised, it is possible to reuse it, to perform inference, to process it throuch computers, and, what is more, it becames amenable to being communicated between people and software. Towards that, three ontlogies have been developed: OSOnto (Operating System Ontology) which represents concepts of the operating system domain, SwTO (Software Test Ontology) which deals with the software testing domain, and SwTOI (SwTO Integrated) which represents concepts of both the above domains in an integrated way. For implementing the ontologies, OWL DL as ontology specification language, Prot´eg´e as ontology edition environment and Racer as the main reasoner, have been used. A quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the SwTOI ontology has been performed.
Este trabalho reúne elementos de um estudo sobre representacão do conhecimento fundamentado em ontologias tendo como domínio alvo o teste do Linux. O estudo visa demonstrar que uma vez que o conhecimento é formalizado, é possível reusá-lo, realizar inferência, processá-lo computacionalmente, como também tornase passível de comunicação entre pessoas e software. Para tal, foram desenvolvidas três ontologias: a OSOnto (Operating System Ontology) que representa conceitos do domínio de Sistema Operacional, a SwTO (Software Test Ontology) que trata do dom´ıniodetestedesoftware, e a SwTOI (SwTOIntegrated) que representa conceitos destes dois domínios integrados. Para a implementação das ontologias foi utilizada OWL DL como linguagem de especificação, o Protégé como ambiente de edição e o Racer como principal raciocinador. Uma avaliação quantitativa e qualitativa foi realizada da ontologia SwTOI.

Pełny tekst źródłaSi bien los cuatro capítulos principales de esta tesis pueden leerse de forma independiente, se pueden considerar conjuntamente como una defensa extensa y detallada de la posición según la cual los axiomes de la mereología clásica son verdades analíticas. En el primer capítulo, critico la teoría deflacionista de Eli Hirsch, que afirma que los universalistas y los nihilistas no se entienden, y que ambas teorías son falsas en el lenguaje ordinario. En el segundo capítulo, rebato un argumento reciente de Louis deRosset en contra de la asunción estándar según la cual las verdades analíticas son, de alguna forma, metafísicamente insustanciales. En el tercer capítulo, critico varios intentos de reconciliar el nihilismo mereológico con la verdad del discurso cotidiano. Finalmente, en el cuarto capítulo, argumento en favor de la analiticidad de la mereología clásica, y respondo a las objecciones principales contra esta teoría de la composición.

Pełny tekst źródłaEsta investigación parte de la pregunta si es posible una ontología política de la danza y en qué términos puede ser posible. A raíz de este cuestionamiento, se describe su posible sentido ontológico, la especificidad ontológica de la danza y su potencialidad política. Para ello se presenta una lectura de la idea de lo político a partir de Jean-Luc Nancy y Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe como suspensión de sentido, se describe la especificidad del pensamiento en movimiento a través de la noción de kinetic bodily logos de Maxine Sheets-Johnstone que se interpreta en clave ontológica, y a través de la idea de presencia y del “venir a la presencia”, se plantea la vulnerabilidad como acontecimiento y como condición de posibilidad de lo político.
This research departs from the question of if it is possible to contemplate a political ontology of dance and in which terms it could be possible. From this question, its possible ontological sense, its ontological specificity and its political potentiality are described. For this, the idea of the political through Jean-Luc Nancy and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe is read as a suspension of sense, the specificity of thought in movement is described through the notion of kinetic bodily logos by Maxine Sheets-Johnstone, which is interpreted in an ontological key, and, through the idea of presence and “coming to presence”, vulnerability is considered as event and as a condition of the possibility of the political.

Pełny tekst źródłas fundamental data structure is a list of words that people naturally link to each other. It displays these lists as a word cloud that is fun to drag around and play with. Users are prompted to enter whatever word comes to their mind upon seeing a word that is suggested from the application&rsquo
s database
or they can search for one word in particular to see what associations other users have made to it. Once logged in, users can view their activity history, which words they were the first to associate, and mark particular words as misspellings or as junk, to help keep the list&rsquo
s structure to be relevant and accurate. The results of this implementation indicate the fact that an interesting application that enables users just to play with its visual elements can also be useful to gather information.
