Some Methodology and Representation Problems for the Semantics of Prosaic Application Domains (Extended Abstract)

As the primary targets for exercises of re-engineering and interoperability, so-called prosaic application domains and their associated systems provide interesting and practically useful case studies for a treatment of semantics from a methodological as well as cognitive point of view. (In this paper we treat cognition as the process of linking knowledge to perception inside an intelligent agent.)
