valuecore with value frames.owl
type: Ontology
comment: A minimal vocabulary to talk about values as defined in different theories, accompanied by an alignment to foundational and linguistic ontologies. It is intended as a core ontology of values, which allows to align different existing theories (Schwartz, Haidt, World Value Survey, etc. A first extraction of value-related frames from Framester has been done, leading to 7 conceptual frames and 6 synset frames that cover all senses of 'value', from proper normative/goal senses to commercial and informational senses. A much deeper extraction needs to be done, not only by using the labels from the value collection from the specific modules, but also attempting a transitive closure across Framester and its modules, in order to discover possible inconsistencies, problematic inferences, typical roles, associations to sentiment polarity and emotions, visual categories, etc.
version info: 0.4 - 05.05.2022 refined axioms for ValueAppraisal, ValueCommitment and ValueRecognition as well as ValueScenario and ValueSituation. Introduced necessary properties for new axioms. (ISWC version) 0.3 - 07.01.2022 added vc:triggers object property, to be used in the Value Reasoner and to connect framester entities in the new Value frames (to be introduced in Framester). Added :Fairness individual from Curry module and :Fairness_vs_Cheating dyad from Haidt module as individuals of :Value class. 0.2, 03-16-2021 added perspectival relations, fixed the semantics of values and perspectives on the value scenario. 0.1, 03-14-2021 bootstrapped by Aldo Gangemi and Stefano De Giorgis.

value
type: Class
equivalent class: synset-value-noun-6
subclass of: ConceptualFrame
comment: Schwartz: The relative importance of multiple values guides action. Any attitude or behaviour typically has implications for more than one value. … The tradeoff among relevant, competing values guides attitudes and behaviors… Values influence action when they are relevant in the context (hence likely to be activated) and important to the actor.
comment: Schwartz: Values are beliefs linked inextricably to affect. When values are activated, they become infused with feeling.
comment: Schwartz: Values are ordered by importance relative to one another. People’s values form an ordered system of priorities that characterize them as individuals.
comment: Schwartz: Values refer to desirable goals that motivate action.
comment: Schwartz: Values serve as standards or criteria. Values guide the selection or evaluation of actions, policies, people, and events. People decide what is good or bad, justified or illegitimate, worth doing or avoiding, based on possible consequences for their cherished values. But the impact of values in everyday decisions is rarely conscious. Values enter awareness when the actions or judgments one is considering have conflicting implications for different values one cherishes.
comment: Schwartz: Values transcend specific actions and situations. … This feature distinguishes values from norms and attitudes that usually refer to specific actions, objects, or situations.
