SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ONTOLOGY DERIVATION

摘要

A system for deriving ontologies to support inferencing with changing context, including changes of time. Embodiment of the invention use a unique system for modeling context and the interactions among multiple contexts in order to compute functions that can modify ontologies for presentation to a reasoning system. A parallel unique system allows previous inferences to be retrospectively modified based on newly derived ontological semantics. The system allows for the creation of new ontological elements and auditable models of agency and cause. It can be implemented using methods that delay evaluation until semantic interpretation is required, either at the ontological or inferential level.

1. A method of operating a computer system to dynamically derive an ontology, the method comprising:
providing initial information to the computer system; generating an first ontology based upon the initial information; providing additional information to the computer system; and generating an second ontology based upon the first ontology and the additional information.
