Special Issue of the Journal of Applied Ontology ''Meaning in
Context: ontologically and linguistically motivated representations of objects and
events.''
https://submissions.iospress.com/applied-ontology/CIM
Overview
Dealing with context is a key factor in the
conceptualization of human experience, and a major issue for understanding natural
language. It is well known that some properties of objects and events may have
different cognitive salience according to their context of occurrence, thus
determining access to partial relevant information rather than to all information.
One typical example is that of an orange being passed between two children, or the
same orange peeled on a table: in the former case the roundness prevails over other
traits, and the orange is being used to play; in the latter one, the edible features
are those mostly conveyed by the scene. Interpreting events poses contextual
challenges as well: (in how far) does a given event allow for different
interpretations, like it might happen for revenge/self defense? Similar selectional
mechanisms underlie figurative uses of word meanings, such as metonymy and metaphors
among others, that intrinsically characterize the interface between knowledge and
language.
Relevant areas include, but are not limited to: events
representation and retrieval, event sequences, contextual features representation,
trend detection, knowledge discovery, word sense disambiguation, ontology alignment,
opinion mining and sentiment analysis, and conceptual similarity, among others. All
proposed approaches must address the issue of representation of context, and
suitable procedures to use context and context aware meaning representations of
objects and events. The ideal submission should provide evidence that context
improves the performance of systems on real-world applications and/or provides
useful insights and explanations on systems' output.
