PerformanceA performance is an act of staging or presenting a play, concert, or other form of entertainment. It is also defined as the action or process of carrying out or accomplishing an action, task, or function. In the work place, job performance is the hypothesized conception or requirements of a role. There are two types of job performances: contextual and task. Task performance is dependent on cognitive ability, while contextual performance is dependent on personality.
Alignement d'ontologiesOntology alignment, or ontology matching, is the process of determining correspondences between concepts in ontologies. A set of correspondences is also called an alignment. The phrase takes on a slightly different meaning, in computer science, cognitive science or philosophy. For computer scientists, concepts are expressed as labels for data. Historically, the need for ontology alignment arose out of the need to integrate heterogeneous databases, ones developed independently and thus each having their own data vocabulary.
Changement linguistiqueL'expression changement linguistique désigne la modification continue dans le temps des éléments et des structures de tous les domaines d’une langue. Il y a deux grandes catégories : des changements internes à une langue donnée et des changements externes. Les changements consistent en transformations, en ajouts et en éliminations d’éléments et de structures. Le changement linguistique est étudié par la linguistique historique, qui étudie la formation et l’évolution des langues en tant que processus qui se déroulent par des changements.
