Resumo: | Introduction: Semantic relationships are crucial devices for Knowledge Representation, a field of research that have received more and more attention, mainly with the advent of Semantic Web. Information Science has a long history of studying and using semantic relationships in the several contexts in which Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS) are designed and developed. However, there are a few detailed research about the semantic relationship of whole-part, also known as partitive relationship. Objective: This article aims to present a well-grounded description about the partitive relationship, from a interdisciplinary approach including its linguistic and philosophical roots. Methodology: To reach our goals, we describe and characterize two main forms through partitive relations are posed – the meronym, non-formal and linguistic in nature; the mereology, formal and logical in nature – distinguishing them by the property of transitivity. Results: From such distinction, we suggest a pragmatic criterion to decide which approach of partitive relations is suitable to build ontologies and thesauri. Conclusions: We conclude that, formal relationships are, as a matter of fact, more restrict relations, and one can even say that they are included in no-formal relationships. However, the use of formal relations in ontologies requires attention to questions sometimes neglected by information scientists. |

La Ciencia de la Información tiene un largo historial de estudio y uso de relaciones semánticas en los diversos contextos en que Sistemas de Organización del Conocimiento (SOCs) son diseñados y construidos. Sin embargo, son pocos los estudios detallados sobre la relación semántica parte-todo, también conocida como relación partitiva. Objetivo: el presente artículo objetiva una descripción bien fundamentada de la relación partitiva, a partir de abordaje interdisciplinario que envuelve sus orígenes lingüística y filosófica. Metodología: para alcanzar el objetivo propuesto, se describen y se caracterizan las principales formas por las cuales relaciones partitivas se manifiestan – la meronimia, no formal y lingüística; y la mereología, formal y lógica, distinguiendo por la propiedad de la transitividad. Resultados: a partir de la distinción mencionada, se sugiere criterio pragmático al decidir qué abordaje de relación partitiva es adecuada cuando se construyen ontologías y tesauros. Conclusiones: se concluye que las relaciones formales son, de hecho, más estrictas, y se puede afirmar que están incluidas en las relaciones no formales, pero que el uso de las relaciones formales en ontologías requiere cuidados muchas veces descuidados por profesional de la Ciencia de la Información.Introdução: Relações semânticas são essenciais para a Representação do Conhecimento, um campo de pesquisa que ganha cada vez mais relevância, principalmente a partir do advento da Web Semântica. A Ciência da Informação tem um longo histórico de estudo e uso de relações semânticas nos diversos contextos em que Sistemas de Organização do Conhecimento (SOCs) são concebidos e construídos. Entretanto, são poucos os estudos pormenorizados sobre a relação semântica parte-todo, também conhecida como relação partitiva. Objetivo: o presente artigo objetiva uma descrição fundamentada da relação partitiva, a partir de abordagem interdisciplinar que envolve suas origens linguísticas e filosóficas. Metodologia: para atingir o objetivo proposto, descrevem-se e caracterizam-se as duas principais formas pelas quais as relações partitivas se manifestam – a meronímia, não formal e linguística; e a mereologia, formal e lógica – distinguindo-as pela propriedade da transitividade. Resultados: a partir da distinção mencionada, sugere-se critério pragmático ao decidir qual abordagem de relação partitiva é adequada quando se constroem ontologias e tesauros. Conclusões: conclui-se, que as relações formais são, de fato, mais restritas, e pode-se mesmo afirmar que estão incluídas nas relações não-formais, mas que o uso das relações formais em ontologias requer cuidados muitas vezes negligenciadas pelos cientistas da informação.Universidade Estadual de Londrina2019-11-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/informacao/article/view/3798810.5433/1981-8920.2019v24n2p31Informação & Informação; v. 24 n. 2 (2019); 31-371981-8920reponame:Informação & Informaçãoinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/informacao/article/view/37988/pdf_1Copyright (c) 2021 Informação & Informaçãoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlmeida, Maurício BarcellosEmygdio, Jeanne Louize2021-04-23T13:30:29Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/37988Revistahttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/informacao/indexPUBhttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/informacao/oai||infoeinfo@uel.br10.5433/1981-89201981-89201414-2139opendoar:2021-04-23T13:30:29Informação & Informação - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false |
