Intensional/extensional A rather large and especially useful portion of our active vocabularies is taken up by general terms, words or phrases that stand for whole groups of individual things sharing a common attribute. But there are two distinct ways of thinking about the meaning of any such term. The extensional of a general term is just the collection of individual things to which it is correctly applied. Thus, the extension of the word "chair" includes every chair that is (or ever has been or ever will be) in the world. The intension of a general term, on the other hand, is the set of features which are shared by everything to which it applies. Thus, the intensional of the word "chair" is (something like) "a piece of furniture designed to be sat upon by one person at a time." Fig.

Molhanec2 1Czech University of Life Sciences, Faculty of Economics and Management, Department of Information Engineering, Prague, Czech Republic 2Czech Technical University, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Department of Electrotechnology, Prague, Czech Republic This paper deals with various ways of knowledge maps software implementation. There are discussed both freeware and commercial products. Based on this comparison, we argue for the approach based on ontologies and present our own software “Selides”. Onto- logical specification is of particular interest to knowledge managers because associated methods support top management in the processing of tacit knowledge into a more explicit form. The goal of our project is to work with knowledge using computer technol- ogy. This approach is related to the database technology and can significantly improve the knowledge management in contract to raw work with volumes of text and graphics. knowledge engineering; knowledge representation; knowledge map; software support; ontology INTRODUCTION or applied to aid decision making. Knowledge may be explicit and/or tacit, individual and/or collective (T a n - Knowledge mapping is a discipline that is concerned dukar, 2007). Another important concept we deal with with the design and engineering of technologies that allow is the concept of Knowledge Management. According to advanced organization, filtering and management of infor- popular Wikipedia we agree with an assertion that Knowl- mation in visual ways.

By doing the assignments students will gain an understanding in the practical skill of visual business information structuring with the use of special software (mind mapping and concept mapping). The assignments will examine a number of related topics, such as: system analysis and its applications; the relationship among, and roles of, data, information, and knowledge in different applications including marketing and management, and the varying approaches needed to ensure their effective implementation and deployment; characteristics of theoretical and methodological topics of knowledge acquisition, including the principles, visual methods, issues, and programs; defining and identifying of cognitive aspects for knowledge modelling and visual representation (mind mapping and concept mapping techniques). 4 Chapter 1 Methodical recommendations and examples for assignment list 1 1.1.

  • Using Computer Programs for Case Preparation and Trial
    Using Computer Programs for Case Preparation and Trial Presentation: What can you do on your own? David McFarlane, Attorney Beth Heiting, Paralegal Bell, Moore & Richter, S.C. Madison, WI For the past 20 years, I have been using legal-specific and generic programs for case preparation and for about the past 10 years have been using a computer at trials, during opening statements, examination of witnesses and closing argument. I am convinced that computer programs can be valuable (I think essential) tools for my work as a trial lawyer because they help me be more efficient and effective in the preparation of a case and at trial. When used appropriately, and with a reasonable amount of planning, computer programs allow us to quickly and accurately display exhibits and demonstrative aids, and allow us to clearly emphasize the important points in a document in ways that juries appreciate. We will discuss the following programs that we use on almost every trial: LexisNexis CaseMap 6.1 Mindjet MindManager 14.1 Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 LexisNexis TimeMap 3 LexisNexis NoteMap 2 LexisNexis Sanction 3 The discussion of these programs is not meant as an endorsement of the programs. It only means they are the programs we now use. There are alternative programs which may well be better than what we use or that may be more suitable in your practice. We intend only to demonstrate how various types of programs, of which the ones we use are examples, can help a trial lawyer be more efficient and effective. At the end of the article we will list sources of information for these programs and for some alternative programs.

Educators and learners can use different types of software to create digital mind map for teaching learning. The objectives of the paper are: to describe about different types of software used in creating digital mind maps; to highlight the process of digital mind map development through software and to provide an overview of benefits and usefulness of digital mind mapping software. It’s a review-based study. Articles published in various leading journals, conference proceedings, online materials have been referred in the present article. The first part of the paper describes concept of digital mind mapping software. Second part of the paper provides a brief description about different software used in creating digital mind maps. The third part of the article explains about the process of digital mind map creation through software. The last part of the paper elaborates benefits and usefulness of digital mind mapping software.

    Software Systems E ngineering H. Eichelberger, Y. Eldogan, K. Schmid A Comprehensive Analysis of UML Tools, their Capabilities and their Compliance August 2011 Version 2.0 IfI Report Nr. 1/2012 Software Systems Engineering Institut für Informatik Universität Hildesheim Marienburger Platz 22 D-31134 Hildesheim A comprehensive survey of UML tool capabilities and compliance A comprehensive survey of UML tool capabilities and compliance Executive Summary The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has been widely adopted in software engineering prac- tice in industry over the last decade. A large range of different tools have been developed both from industrial providers as well as open source tools. However, due to the complexity of the UML specification it is very difficult for a single tool to support the full range of UML stand- ards faithfully. In practice tools differ significantly in terms of the parts of the UML specifica- tion they support. The decision of a development organization for a specific tool environment is a very significant one, which typically leads to a significant amount of costs (e.g., in terms of training), out of which the licensing costs, though significant, are often only a minor part. Thus, the tool needs to be chosen with very much care. As one aid towards a rational tool selection decision, this report provides the most comprehensive comparison of UML tools currently available. This study provides the most comprehensive assessment of the current tool support. It combines a detailed information collection effort for each individual tool, a broad range of tools analyzed and also analyzed UML compliance as defined by the OMG.
