title: Commonsense Aspects of Buying and Selling creator: Akman, Varol creator: Ersan, Murat subject: Cognitive Psychology subject: Artificial Intelligence description: We describe an experimental approach towards implementing a commonsense `micro-theory' for buying and selling. Our prototype system characterizes how intelligent agents hold items and money, how they buy and sell items, and the way money and items are transferred. The ontology of the system includes money (cash, check, credit card), agents (people, organizations), items (movable, real estate, service), barter, and the notions of transfer, loan, buying by installments, profit and loss. date: 1996-07 type: Journal (Paginated) type: PeerReviewed format: application/postscript identifier: http://cogprints.org/463/2/cs.ps identifier: Akman, Varol and Ersan, Murat (1996) Commonsense Aspects of Buying and Selling.
