The model has the following characteristics and capabilities:


Ontology




Taxonomy & categorization




Knowledge dynamism/plasticity


learn
store
retrieve


-
associativity
-
content attachment
-
previous experience dependency


assertion strength
origin
negativity
correction
equivalence


but not

forgiveness
duality



Property definition





Relationship inheritance



The characteristics of a concept are distributed among their offspring (parent relations).

A concept assumes the characteristics of their parents as own, unless the characteristic is directly mentioned in the concept itself (this last ones has priority).


  • is cat domesticated? Yes → "cat" inherits "domesticated" from "feline"
  • is tiger domesticated? No → "tiger" could inherits "domesticated" from "feline" but that characteristic already exists in their frame (it has been corrected)





Backgronud support / logic and deduction help



It has the following weakness:


Entities

John Palmer is rich

John Houston is nice

which John is rich?


Measure specification

an automobile has between 1 and 16 wheels

the weight of a hamster is 140g – 200g


Duality

a person could be rich or not

there is people with hair and

there is people without hair


Numbers

Even though the system can manage numbered attributes and even ranges:

Jurisdictions have two to four judges → jurisdiction HAVE judde 2-4

series have 8 or 20 episodes → serie HAVE episode 8,20


But it did not manage:

Decimal or compound numbers are not correctly managed → 1,23 1-10 1.2

Seven is a fantastic film → Seven is not interpreted as a name


And some interesting points that are out of the scope:


Time references

Michael Jakcson was white.

She was born in 1980.


Comparison

an elephant is big

bears are very big

which one is bigger?


Object interactions (This characteristic has been added to the model)

giraffes eat plants

dogs and cats live in house, cities but not in rivers

grass is ate by sheeps and cows
