SUO: 20 May 2002 -- Questions About SUMO Set Theory
¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤
SUMO Queries 1, 2, 3
SUMO Team,
1. What is the exact formulation of set theory used in SUMO?
Comment. When I tried to trace this information I was led through
the following sequence of links, not counting dead ends and loops.
a. http://suo.ieee.org/
b. http://ontology.teknowledge.com/
c. http://ontology.teknowledge.com/rsigma/annotatedHistory.html
d. http://www-ksl.stanford.edu/knowledge-sharing/kif/
e. http://www-ksl.stanford.edu/knowledge-sharing/ontologies/html/kif-sets/
Page (d) contains the remark that the set ontology that is supposed to be
"built into KIF" is "a version of Von Neumann/Bernays/Godel set theory".
2. Can you provide a reference and a justification for this assertion?
3. Can you provide a detailed account and a justification of
the differences, if any, between the SUMO set theory and
standard versions of Von Neumann/Bernays/Godel set theory?
Thanks In Prospect,
Jon Awbrey
