THE QUERIES AESTHETICS
Describe and interrogate our knowledge

In what sense does an ontolgy describe a reality? What is needed so that models
adequately respect the dominium of knowledge in question? But overall this what
is needed to model and interrogate to extract useful knowledge? These are the
questions which this study intends to proposes answers.
We look first of all to supply to the reader intelligent instruments and models
useful for a better understanding of the type of models of knowledge offered by
the technology OWL and its management by an automatic reasoner. Following this
we analyse the queries that it is possible to propose to a base of knowledge
formalised in this way, following as principle inspiration the idea that a
formula (because these are queries expressed in a formal language) is much more
efficient and significant as well as more elegant, that is simple and creative
at the same time, taking the idea of Poincare - famous believer in the
esthetical side of science - for who "Mathematics is the art of giving the same
name to different things", sp that implies inventing and simplifying in even
amounts.
