Schemata01:17

Schemata

487
A schema is a mental construct that organizes related concepts, allowing the brain to process information efficiently. Upon activation, schemata facilitate assumptions about people or objects.
Two types of schemata are:

Indeterminate Structure01:18

Indeterminate Structure

1.5K
Indeterminate structures refer to structures where internal forces and reactions cannot be determined using only the equations of static equilibrium.  Indeterminate structures have more unknown forces and reaction forces than equations of static equilibrium that can be used to determine them. Indeterminate structures are often used in engineering to create complex, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing structures. There are various types of indeterminate structures used in engineering and...

Introduction to Structures

2.0K
A structure is defined as a system of interconnected members designed to support or transfer forces and successfully withstand the loads acting on them. The internal forces of a structure can be determined by decomposing the structure and analyzing the free-body diagrams of the individual members or of a combination of members. This helps in understanding the structural elements' behavior and ensuring that the structure is stable and can withstand the subjected loads.
There are three main...

Levels of Organization

145.1K
Biological organization is the classification of biological structures, ranging from atoms at the bottom of the hierarchy to the Earth's biosphere. Each level of the hierarchy represents an increase in complexity that builds upon the previous level.
Molecules Are Composed of Atoms, and Biomolecules Are Assembled from Molecules:
The most basic levels include atoms, molecules, and biomolecules. Atoms, the smallest unit of ordinary matter, are composed of a nucleus and electrons. Molecules...

Structural Classification of Joints01:20

Structural Classification of Joints

8.9K
Joints, also known as articulations, are classified based on their structural characteristics, i.e., based on whether the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones are directly connected by fibrous connective tissue or cartilage, or whether the articulating surfaces contact each other within a fluid-filled joint cavity. These differences serve to divide the joints of the body into three structural classifications.
A fibrous joint is where the adjacent bones are united by fibrous connective...

Schemas01:42

Schemas

12.5K
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Informatics
  • Knowledge Representation
  • Ontology Engineering

Background:

  • Increasingly heterogeneous biomedical data necessitates robust integration and search methods.
  • Ontologies are crucial for semantic interoperability but often suffer from incompleteness.
  • Incomplete ontologies hinder accurate domain modeling and can lead to missed conclusions in applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To formalize and address the problem of repairing missing is-a relations in ontologies.
  • To develop a framework and system supporting domain experts in completing ontology structures.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in enhancing ontology completeness.

Main Methods:

  • Formalization of missing is-a relation repair as a generalized TBox abduction problem.
  • Development of algorithms for finding solutions within a description logic framework.
  • Implementation and experimental evaluation of a system for ontology completion.

Main Results:

  • Complexity results for decision problems related to generalized TBox abduction were established.
  • The system successfully repaired a significant number of missing is-a relations in Anatomy ontologies.
  • New missing is-a relations were detected and repaired in the BioTop ontology without prior input.

Conclusions:

  • High-quality, complete ontologies are essential for semantically-enabled applications.
  • The introduced framework and system effectively support domain experts in completing ontology is-a structures.
  • Experimental results demonstrate the practical utility and success of the proposed ontology repair approach.
