[protege-discussion] Modelling question

[Peter Jones]

You may have researched the lit. already but in terms of tips / 
suggestions have you checked references to:

van Gelder 1995, Port and van Gelder 1995, Marr and Nishihara 1978 
cylinder models. Scott Kelso 1995 book, Talmy 1988?

Peter Gandenfors cites these sources discussing dynamic properties in 
his book 'Conceptual Spaces' p. 98.

>Action
>-- Walk
>-- Run
>-- Jump
>-- Turn
>-- Skip
>-- Hop

>With multiple modifier classes, eg:

>Modifier
>-- Direction (Forward Or Backward Or Stationary)
>-- Speed (Slow Or Medium Or Fast)
>-- Rotation (Clockwise Or AntiClockwise)
>-- Path (Circular Or Straight)
>-- StartingBodySide (StartsOnLeftFoot Or StartsOnRightFoot)

>I would like to store and search on instances of e.g. a Run that:
>StartsOnLeftFoot, Forward, Fast, Circular and Clockwise, or a Walk that:
>StartsOnLeftFoot, Forward, Fast, Circular and Clockwise.
