Duality in Knowledge Sharing
Marco Schorlemmer · 2002
I propose a formalisation of knowledge sharing scenarios that aims at capturing the crucial role played by an existing duality between ontological theories one wants to merge and particular situations that need to be linked. I use diagrams in the Chu category and colimits over these diagrams to account for the reliability and optimality of knowledge sharing systems. Furthermore, I show how we may obtain a deeper understanding of a system that shares knowledge between a probabilistic logic program and Bayesian belief networks by re-analysing the scenario in terms of the present approach.
