Product Description

Ontological Prisms The expansion of generative AI has highlighted the limitations of purely neural approaches and the benefits of coupling them with symbolic counterparts epitomized by ontologies. While knowledge graphs emerge as the jack of all trades among agents dealing with language, knowledge, and orchestration, there is little consensus on the sources and roles of ontologies, in other words, knowledge. The book introduces ontological prisms, a game-changing paradigm that unfolds the geometry of knowledge into a triptych of observed worlds (facts), meanings (concepts), and shared representations (categories). This approach entails three major breakthroughs with regard to: Interoperability: by establishing a principled and actionable distinction between communication (language) and representation (knowledge), ontological prisms provide a blueprint for semantic and conceptual layers set across heterogeneous representations Abstraction levels: leveraging its three-pronged paradigm, ontological prisms untangle the abstraction conundrum between upper (or foundational) and lower (or domain-specific) level ontologies. This allows for a smooth, declarative integration of ontological abstractions without imposing unwieldy inheritance hierarchies Temporality: the epistemic distinction between worlds (facts), intents (concepts), and representations (categories), combined with differentiated abstraction semantics, enables diachronic knowledge management alongside concurrent engineering processes, regardless of domain overlaps and misaligned life cycles These advances allow for a seamless integration of knowledge engineering between agentic and enterprise systems: facts, categories, and concepts for the former, mapped to data, information, and knowledge for the latter, respectively. That knowledge-driven integration of cognitive and systems capabilities paves the way to a holistic approach to collective learning weaving together individuals, organizations, and systems. The

Integrate ontological frameworks across enterprise and agentic AI systems As generative AI exposes the limits of purely neural approaches, practitioners need principled methods for coupling symbolic and subsymbolic systems. Ontological Prisms: Knowledge Engineering for Enterprise & Agentic Systems introduces a three-dimensional paradigm that unfolds knowledge into observed facts, conceptual meanings, and shared categorical representations, replacing traditional two-dimensional models with explicit structures for smoother ontological integration across heterogeneous domains. Organized into three parts covering principles, foundations, and architecture; cognitive functions including language, reasoning, and judgment; and systems and knowledge engineering, the book introduces the KEOPS methodology accompanied by a practical OWL/Protégé kernel. It addresses interoperability through principled separation of communication and representation, untangles abstraction levels between upper and domain-specific ontologies, and enables diachronic knowledge management alongside concurrent engineering. Readers will also find: Explicit 3D representations of facts, concepts, and categories that replace flat models for declarative integration without unwieldy inheritance hierarchiesA principled mapping of facts, categories, and concepts to data, information, and knowledge bridging agentic and enterprise system architecturesThe KEOPS methodology with an OWL/Protégé kernel for implementing actionable ontological frameworks in real-world engineering projectsDiachronic knowledge management techniques that operate alongside concurrent engineering processes regardless of domain overlaps or misaligned life cyclesDifferentiated reading paths structured for graduates, engineers, and consultants working in agentic cognition, ontology development, and decision-making systems Designed for professionals in information systems, knowledge management, and artificial intelligence, this book provides th
