Title
Extending Representation Capability: Representation Extention Through the Corresponding Metaphor Process
Abstract
Markup is a means of specifying tokens with standardized start-end delimiters. Each unique token is given its meaning through inclusion in a name space, which defines its usage. A Representation is an object with semantic properties. This paper is about a programmatic means of extending the capability of representation in computers. In many if not most computer systems the storage is purposely fine-grained using either a numeric value or an enumerated-type of some kind. In this paper we see discussion and computer code - to provide examples of technique - of a means which broadly expands this fine-grained representation. The use of an associated set of context mechanisms is shown to be highly leveraging of this process . Representation is extended by employment of metaphor making and perceiving software. One means for accomplishing this is provided by the mechanism of the Transfer and Corresponding Metaphor Process. What these are and how they may be implemented is discussed in some detail in this paper. Java, known by many, is the almost universally used language with XML technologies (along with (J)Python, and XSLT) and there are a few brief examples of Java in this paper shown to provide logical processing means to accompany the shown (spatial) ontologies. Perhaps the single most important thing to come away with from this paper is that programmatically performed metaphor processing brings to ontological items the controlled multiplicity or nuance of meaning that speakers of natural languages, such as English, enjoy (mostly unaware) with each of the words they use daily.
