XML Framework for Concept Description and Knowledge Representation

Title: XML Framework for Concept Description and Knowledge Representation

Abstract: This research article proposes an XML framework for concept description and knowledge representation. The framework is based on the tree structure of XML and the logical structure of concepts defined by attributional calculus. It offers a simpler way than the powerful RDF technology to represent knowledge using attribute-value representation. The framework's advantages include universal and web-based data format, data consistency checking, and worldwide data accessibility. The paper provides an overview of XML, introduces knowledge representation and attributional calculus, and demonstrates the framework's application in modeling concept description and Emerald's world as an example.

Main Research Question: How can XML be used to create a framework for concept description and knowledge representation using attribute-value representation?

Methodology: The methodology involves creating an XML schema that represents the logical structure of concepts based on attributional calculus. The schema defines elements and attributes that describe objects and their characteristics, forming a hierarchical tree structure.

Results: The results show that the XML framework offers a simpler and more appropriate method for describing concepts based on attribute-value representation. It enables worldwide data access and consistency checking, making it suitable for various applications, including machine learning programs.

Implications: The implications of this research are significant in the field of knowledge representation. The XML framework provides a universal and web-based data format for concept description and knowledge representation, making it easier for researchers and practitioners to share and use this information. Additionally, the framework's simplicity and data consistency checking make it an attractive option for various applications.
