Dictionary of Philosophy of Mind - ontology. Applied Ontology. Analytic–synthetic distinction. The analytic–synthetic distinction (also called the analytic–synthetic dichotomy) is a conceptual distinction, used primarily in philosophy to distinguish propositions (in particular, statements that are affirmative subject-predicate judgments) into two types: analytic propositions and synthetic propositions.
Analytic propositions are true by virtue of their meaning, while synthetic propositions are true by how their meaning relates to the world.[1] However, philosophers have used the terms in very different ways. Furthermore, philosophers have debated whether there is a legitimate distinction. Kant[edit] Conceptual containment[edit] analytic proposition: a proposition whose predicate concept is contained in its subject conceptsynthetic proposition: a proposition whose predicate concept is not contained in its subject concept Examples of analytic propositions, on Kant's definition, include: "All bachelors are unmarried.
"" Kant's own example is: "All bachelors are unhappy. "" [edit] Web Ontology Language. The OWL family contains many species, serializations, syntaxes and specifications with similar names. OWL and OWL2 are used to refer to the 2004 and 2009 specifications, respectively. Full species names will be used, including specification version (for example, OWL2 EL). When referring more generally, OWL Family will be used. History[edit] Early ontology languages[edit] Ontology languages for the web[edit] In 2000 in the United States, DARPA started development of DAML led by James Hendler.[12] In March 2001, the Joint EU/US Committee on Agent Markup Languages decided that DAML should be merged with OIL.[12] The EU/US ad hoc Joint Working Group on Agent Markup Languages was convened to develop DAML+OIL as a web ontology language.
OWL started as a research-based[14] revision of DAML+OIL aimed at the semantic web. Semantic web standards[edit] The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries. Buffalo Ontology Site.
