Self-Schemas

Self-Schemas

In general, 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.

Natural and Artificial Concepts

Natural and Artificial Concepts

In psychology, concepts can be divided into two categories: natural and artificial. Natural concepts are formed through direct or indirect experiences. For example, consider the concept of snow. If you live in a place with regular snowfall, such as Essex Junction, Vermont, you know snow through direct experiences. You’ve seen it fall, touched it, shoveled it, and played in it. You recognize its texture, appearance, and even its smell. In contrast, if you live on an island like Saint Vincent in...

Heuristics

Heuristics

Heuristics are problem-solving strategies that use mental shortcuts to simplify decision-making. Unlike algorithms, which must be followed precisely to achieve a correct result, heuristics offer a general problem-solving framework. They save time and energy but can sometimes lead to less rational decisions.
People often rely on heuristics when faced with an overload of information, limited time, low importance of the decision, limited information, or when a heuristic readily comes to mind. For...

Graphical Representation of Inequalities

Graphical Representation of Inequalities

The graph of the equation where y equals x squared forms a curve known as a parabola. This curve acts as a boundary in the coordinate plane, dividing it into distinct regions based on the relative position of points.When the equality sign in the equation is replaced with an inequality—such as greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to—the graphical representation changes from a single curve into a broader shaded area that signifies the set of all points...

Woodward–Hoffmann Selection Rules and Microscopic Reversibility

Woodward–Hoffmann Selection Rules and Microscopic Reversibility

Electrocyclic reactions, cycloadditions, and sigmatropic rearrangements are concerted pericyclic reactions that proceed via a cyclic transition state. These reactions are stereospecific and regioselective. The stereochemistry of the products depends on the symmetry characteristics of the interacting orbitals and the reaction conditions. Accordingly, pericyclic reactions are classified as either symmetry-allowed or symmetry-forbidden. Woodward and Hoffmann presented the selection criteria for...

Area of Science:

Computer Science
Information Science
Semantic Web Technologies

Background:

Knowledge graphs and ontologies are key for FAIR data, but face challenges in effective use.
Current modeling paradigms often assume mind-independent reality, posing difficulties for practical application.
Existing methods require significant semantic expertise, limiting broader adoption.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose the Rosetta Statement approach as a solution to challenges in knowledge graph construction.
To introduce an RDF-native metamodel for deriving semantic data schemata from simple English statements.
To demonstrate a practical implementation and a three-step procedure for FAIR knowledge graph creation.

Main Methods:

Developed the Rosetta Statement approach, modeling natural language statements directly.
Designed an RDF-native metamodel supporting versioning and change-tracking.
Implemented the full version in the Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG) platform.
Outlined a three-step FAIR knowledge graph construction procedure.

Main Results:

The Rosetta Statement approach facilitates knowledge graph construction by domain experts with minimal semantic training.
The ORKG implementation allows for community-driven definition of schemata for new statement types.
The proposed three-step procedure effectively lowers entry barriers and enhances cognitive interoperability for FAIR knowledge graphs.

Conclusions:

The Rosetta Statement approach significantly reduces the complexity of knowledge graph creation.
Its natural language proximity aids tool development for data entry and summarization, especially with Large Language Models.
This approach promotes FAIR data principles and cognitive interoperability, aligning with the CLEAR Principle.
