Paper Abstract:
|
Computers store and exploit knowledge, at least that is one of the aims of Artificial Intelligence and Information Systems
research fields. However, the problem is to understand what knowledge means, to find ways of representing knowledge,
and to extract useful information from stored data.
Scientific and engineering disciplines are developing daily. This progress is strongly connected to complex techniques
and methods. However, it is surprising to observe that the majority of data tables (Information Systems) considered are
binary and, of course, the methods and techniques used are binary based.
This paper presents an approach for handling multiple valued Information Systems by considering an unusual algebra.
The proposed algebra does not handle raw data, it handles declarative descriptions of the data and allows a multivalued
description of the knowledge contained in an Information System by means of array expressions. |
