Represent Knowledge by Object-Oriented Technology
Liu Qi · 2004
In this paper, we suggest a method of representing semantic and common knowledge by oriented-object technology. The smemes in HowNet, which are the smallest meaning units, are represented by classes, then transform inter-concept semantic relations and the inter-attribute semantic relations into inter-classes relations and inter-attribute of classes relations; concept meaning in the HowNet's dictionary represents a subclass of categorical attribute class, the other sememes in the DEF item of the concept keep in the variables of the class. After processing, the semantic and common knowledge are represented by classes and objects. These show our method is practically feasible, and these results are critical bases of further researches of representing knowledge acquired from text.
