Knowledge Integration with Conceptual Blending

Abstract

In this paper, we present our most recent work on
the integration of different domains of knowledge
into a single domain. The construction of this new
domain, the Blend, is inspired on the theory of Conceptual
Blending, of Fauconnier and Turner, [Fauconnier
and Turner, 1998], and is formalized in detail.
As we will discuss later, a blend of two domains
won?t consist of their sum or juxtaposition.
Instead, this new domain will have its own structure
and semantics, which, on one side, brings problems
of interpretation and validation of emergent concepts,
but on the other side represents a promising
space for generation of new ideas and solutions.
