title = "Identity judgments, situations, and semantic web representations",
abstract = "We present our framework for the identity of agents based on situation theory as developed by Barwise, Devlin, and others. Semantic Web standards are used to capture the information present in a constellation of situations (“id-case”) that relate to identity attributions. We present examples of id-cases and discuss how they are encoded using RDF and other semantic-web standards. The examples include straightforward cases of identification using fingerprints and mugshots. They also include developing a profile from a set of documents. And they include a case with learning, specifically, learning a writing style so as to be able to identify the author. Using semantic-web standards, we can make SQL-like queries and execute rules to classify id-situations and entire id-cases. Our encodings also facilitate and account of how evidence accrues to identity judgments.",
