SKIing with DOLCE: toward an e-Science Knowledge Infrastructure
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We develop a general ontology of science knowledge for use in e-Science Knowledge Infrastructures (SKIo), to advance use of digitally represented scientific theories in these environments. SKIo extends the DOLCE foundational ontology with science knowledge primitives, such as science theories, models, and data. These are arranged to reflect the complex knowledge structures used in science, such as scientific ideas playing different roles within and between theories. SKIo is illustrated in UML, encoded in OWL-DL, uses the Descriptions and Situations extension, and provides defining conditions for its primitives to enable an extensible and rigorous bridge between a foundational ontology and domain science ontologies. Testing with several environmental theories confirms the suitability of its representation.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
