Description

Frames and ontologies are key knowledge representation techniques in artificial intelligence. Frames are data structures for representing stereotyped situations. They consist of slots (attributes) and fillers (values or procedures) that describe an object or concept. Ontologies formally define a set of concepts and categories in a subject area, along with the relationships between them. They enable shared understanding and reuse of knowledge. Both are used to model real-world domains, reason about entities, and facilitate communication between humans and machines.

Examples (Code)

Below is a simple example

# Simple Frame-like structure using Python dictionary
dog_frame = {
    "type": "animal",
    "name": "Dog",
    "legs": 4,
    "sound": "bark",
    "behavior": lambda: print("The dog barks!")
}

print(dog_frame["name"])  # Output: Dog
dog_frame["behavior"]()   # Output: The dog barks!
