Economic integration in North America: Formal, Informal and Spatial Aspects.

An exemination of a series of indicators of economic integration in the western hemisphere (Canada-USA-Latin America) indicates that it is proceeding under the influence of formal trade agreements and informal forces including technological change, multinational firm rationalization and location strategies, etc.

Production Linkages Between Informal and Formal Activities Considering Domestic and Imported Inputs: an Application of the Minimal-Flow-Analysis Method to Senegal.

We apply to the Senegalese input-output matrix of 1990, disagregated into formal and informal activities, a recently designed structural analytical method (Minimal-Flow-Analysis) which permits to depict the direct and indirect production likanges existing between activities.

El pensamiento sublime en 3D. Proyecto experimental de Instalación Museográfica Virtual

Entre los años 2005 y 2006, se realizaron en Madrid dos interesantes encuentros internacionales denominados Tecnologías para una Museografía Avanzada, promovidos por el Consejo Internacional de Museos (ICOM), donde representantes de diversas instituciones culturales explicaban las influencias enriquecedoras que han aportado a sus exposiciones los nuevos medios tecnológicos en conjunto con la didáctica y la Museografía Interactiva como elementos mediadores de discurso. Representantes y Directores de instituciones como el Museo de Historia de Valencia (MHV), el Museo Arqueológico Provincial de Alicante (MARQ) o el Museo de la Cultura Bizantina de Grecia por ejemplo, han presentado las propuestas que en este contexto les ha permitido comunicar ideas refrescantes y nuevas estrategias para la compresión de diversos tipos de patrimonios. La premisa expuesta por ellos enfatizaba el pensamiento de que las nuevas tecnologías aunadas a la Museografía Interactiva, constituyen un apoyo didáctico a la hora de transmitir significados provenientes de los objetos patrimoniales para desarrollar y ampliar la comprensión del visitante en relación a los contenidos de las exposiciones. A este respecto, llama la atención la ausencia de museos especializados en Arte ante este tipo de discursos innovadores que suelen provocar en los visitantes soluciones educativas in situ, otorgando nuevos enfoques de las cosas, de la historia, de los objetos y de las generaciones pasadas.

Exploration tools in formal concept analysis

The development of conceptual knowledge systems specifically requests knowledge acquisition tools within the framework of formal concept analysis. In this paper, the existing tools are presented, and furhter developments are discussed.

Conceptual structures represented by conceptual graphs and formal concept analysis

Conceptual Graphs and Formal Concept Analysis have in common basic concerns: the focus on conceptual structures, the use of diagrams for supporting communication, the orientation by Peirce's Pragmatism, and the aim of representing and processing knowledge. These concerns open rich possibilities of interplay and integration. We discuss the philosophical foundations of both disciplines, and analyze their specific qualities. Based on this analysis, we discuss some possible approaches of interplay and integration.

Intelligent structuring and reducing of association rules with formal concept analysis

Association rules are used to investigate large databases. The analyst is usually confronted with large lists of such rules and has to find the most relevant ones for his purpose. Based on results about knowledge representation within the theoretical framework of Formal Concept Analysis, we present relatively small bases for association rules from which all rules can be deduced. We also provide algorithms for their calculation.

Efficient data mining based on formal concept analysis

Formal Concept Analysis is an unsupervised learning technique for conceptual clustering. We introduce the notion of iceberg concept lattices and show their use in Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD). Iceberg lattices are designed for analyzing very large databases. In particular they serve as a condensed representation of frequent patterns as known from association rule mining. In order to show the interplay between Formal Concept Analysis and association rule mining, we discuss the algorithm TITANIC. We show that iceberg concept lattices are a starting point for computing condensed sets of association rules without loss of information, and are a visualization method for the resulting rules.

Conceptual knowledge processing with formal concept analysis and ontologies

Among many other knowledge representations formalisms, Ontologies and Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) aim at modeling ‘concepts’. We discuss how these two formalisms may complement another from an application point of view. In particular, we will see how FCA can be used to support Ontology Engineering, and how ontologies can be exploited in FCA applications. The interplay of FCA and ontologies is studied along the life cycle of an ontology: (i) FCA can support the building of the ontology as a learning technique. (ii) The established ontology can be analyzed and navigated by using techniques of FCA. (iii) Last but not least, the ontology may be used to improve an FCA application.

Ontology merging with formal concept analysis

Ontologies have been established for knowledge sharing and are widely used as a means for conceptually structuring domains of interest. With the growing usage of ontologies, the problem of overlapping knowledge in a common domain becomes critical. In this short paper, we address two methods for merging ontologies based on Formal Concept Analysis: FCA-Merge and ONTEX. --- FCA-Merge is a method for merging ontologies following a bottom-up approach which offers a structural description of the merging process. The method is guided by application-specific instances of the given source ontologies. We apply techniques from natural language processing and formal concept analysis to derive a lattice of concepts as a structural result of FCA-Merge. The generated result is then explored and transformed into the merged ontology with human interaction. --- ONTEX is a method for systematically structuring the top-down level of ontologies. It is based on an interactive, top-down- knowledge acquisition process, which assures that the knowledge engineer considers all possible cases while avoiding redundant acquisition. The method is suited especially for creating/merging the top part(s) of the ontologies, where high accuracy is required, and for supporting the merging of two (or more) ontologies on that level.
