dc.description.abstract | Specifications of conceptualisations (ontologies) are often employed for represent-
ing reality, both in knowledge representation and software engineering. While lan-
guages o®er sophisticated constructs and rigorous semantics for building concep-
tual entities, no attention is paid to the relationship between such entities and the
world they intend to represent. This paper studies such a relationship and provides
empirical evidences in favour of two main hypotheses: (1) conceptualisations are
insuficient to fully represent the specifics of reality; (2) languages (both represen-
tation and design-oriented) are general representations of (classes of) systems in
the world, and they can be characterised as scientific theories. The first hypoth-
esis establishes a problem for which we propose a solution based on the explicit
elaboration of statements claiming the similarity (in some respects and to certain
degrees of accuracy) between conceptual entities and real-world systems of interest.
The second hypothesis constitutes a new perspective for understanding languages,
whose advantages to representation and design are discussed in detail. | es |
