The paper examines convergence problems in Relational Concept Analysis (RCA) when applied to AOC-posets instead of full concept lattices. It explains why RCA’s iterative process may fail to converge in the AOC-poset setting, identifies conditions that can still guarantee convergence, and proposes a convergent variant that preserves the AOC-poset structure by never removing relational attributes. The study also discusses data transformations that can restore convergence.

Ontology construction requires deciding which objects, attributes, and structural relations should be accepted as valid knowledge. Language models can propose such structures from text, but their outputs can still be unsupported or inconsistent.
The article examines how Large Language Models can aid in creating Entity-Relationship diagrams from natural language requirements. It tests three LLMs with three prompting strategies—Zero-Shot, Chain of Thought, and Chain of Thought + Verifier—on scenarios of increasing complexity. Findings show that while LLMs perform adequately on simpler tasks, their reliability drops with more complex requirements, leading to inconsistencies, ambiguities, and constraint representation failures.

arXiv:2608. 06331v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: From natural-language query interfaces to automated report generation, data analysis tools need a description of the data: the real-world entities it contains, which columns function as measures or identifiers, and how tables connect into units of analysis.

arXiv:2605. 22093v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Knowledge graphs have become the primary vehicle for data integration and are critical to the success of modern AI, but the diversity of KG modelling practices, from lightweight vocabularies to richly axiomatised ontologies, makes integration and reuse expensive and brittle.

The paper introduces Knowledge Cards, a new structured artefact designed to capture validated knowledge about specific concepts that AI systems use to make decisions. Unlike existing model, data, and system cards, Knowledge Cards focus on the layer between inputs and outputs, documenting entities, relationships, reasoning patterns, conditions for validity, and provenance, all grounded in a formal domain ontology and signed off by a domain expert. Prototype cards have been created in the energy and pharmaceutical domains, and the schema is released as a public draft for community engagement.

arXiv:2606. 19626v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Byte-Pair Encoding tokenization is statistically efficient for vocabulary compression, but semantically blind to structured technical entities, fragmenting physical quantities, numbers, units, and symbolic expressions into lexically arbitrary subwords.
