Scope note for the class Belief Adoption – I7  Back

Candidate

Scope note

Text

This class comprises the action of an E39 Actor adopting a particular instance of I2 Belief to create a new instance of I2 Belief that shares some of the same propositions in the original I4 Proposition Set and the associated I6 Belief Value.

The basis of I7 Belief Adoption is trust in the source of the instance of I2 Belief rather than the application of the rules in instances of I3 Inference Logic.

Typical examples are the citation of academic papers or the reuse of data sets.

Where an instance of I7 Belief Adoption is based on personal communication (pers.comm.) this should be represented by using P2 has type: “Pers.Comm.” directly from the instance of I7 Belief Adoption.
