--- abstract: 'The merits of set theory as a foundational tool in mathematics stimulate its use in various areas of artificial intelligence, in particular intelligent information systems. In this paper, a study of various nonstandard treatments of set theory from this perspective is offered. Applications of these alternative set theories to information or knowledge management are surveyed.' altloc: - http://www.cs.bilkent.edu.tr/~akman/jour-papers/jiis/jiis.ps chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Akman given: Varol honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Pakkan given: Mujdat honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 1996-01 date_type: published datestamp: 1998-06-19 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/04/65 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 465 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_postscript.png;/465/2/jiis.ps full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'ZF (Zermelo-Fraenkel) set theory, knowledge representation, AFA (anti-foundation axiom), information management, commonsense reasoning, commonsense set theory, situation theory, nonwellfounded sets (hypersets).' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:53:58 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: 1 pagerange: 5-31 pubdom: FALSE publication: 'Journal of Intelligent Information Systems: Integrating Artificial Intelligence and Database Technologies' publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 10 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 16:28:26 subjects: - cog-psy - comp-sci-art-intel - ling-sem - phil-logic succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: Nonstandard Set Theories and Information Management type: journalp userid: 178 volume: 6
