Multiple and Dynamic Representation of frames with Points of View in FROME
Résumé
We describe some contributions of the knowledge representation system FROME to the exploitation of class hierarchies. In order to cope with incomplete, subjective and changing knowledge, FROME proposes multiple and evolutive representation of frames. Multiple representation in FROME allows to describe and manipulate entities from different points of view. Point of view selection on frames contributes to the exploitation of multi-point of view hierarchies, which are an important subject of current research in object oriented knowledge representation (ROME, TROPES, SHOOD).
