TPL—KATS-card sort: A tool for assessing structural knowledge

“…In contrast to other card sorting or grouping tools (cf. Harper et al 2003, Knauff et al 1997) the tool developed for this experiment is especially designed to display animated icons. Most of the experimental data was collected directly through the tool.…”

Abstract. This paper examines whether the formal topological characterization of spatial relations between moving geographic regions provides an adequate basis for the human conceptualization of motion events for those regions. The paper focuses on gradual changes in topological relationships caused by continuous transformations of the regions (specifically, translations). Using a series of experiments, the conceptualization and perception of conceptual neighborhoods is investigated. In particular, the role of conceptual neighborhoods in characterizing motion events is scrutinized. The experiments employ a grouping paradigm and a custom-made tool for presenting animated icons. The analysis examines whether paths through a conceptual neighborhood graph sufficiently characterize the conceptualization of the movement of two regions. The results of the experiments show that changes in topological relations-as detailed by paths through a conceptual neighborhood graphare not sufficient to characterize the cognitive conceptualization of moving regions. The similarity ratings show clear effects of perceptually and conceptually induced groupings such as identity (which region is moving), reference (whether a larger or a smaller region is moving), and dynamics (whether both regions are moving at the same time).

“…It is probable that a combination of techniques (Shadbolt & Burton, 1989;Harper et al, 2003) may actually be very effective for eliciting competency questions. As mentioned previously, each of the three techniques requires some knowledge of the domain, which can be captured by reviewing available documentation and through unstructured interviews.…”

Ontologies have been identified as important components of a number of types of information systems, including data warehouses, e-commerce systems and knowledge management systems, and the quality of such systems is therefore likely to be heavily dependent on the quality of the embedded ontology. An ontology can be studied from two perspectives; the Artificial Intelligence (AI) perspective and the philosophical perspective. The research presented in this paper takes the AI perspective in which an ontology is considered to be an engineering artefact that can be represented using a specific vocabulary. The paper describes an approach to the development, representation and evaluation of formal ontologies with the explicit aim being to develop a set of techniques that will improve the coverage of the ontology, and thus its overall quality. The proposed approach will be illustrated by applying it to the development and evaluation of an ontology for the information technology infrastructure at a university campus.
