Values, as intended in ethics, determine the shape and validity of moral and social norms, grounding our everyday individual and community behavior on commonsense knowledge. Formalising latent moral content in human interaction is an appealing perspective that would enable a deeper understanding of both social dynamics and individual cognitive and behavioral dimension. To tackle this problem, several theoretical frameworks offer different values models, and organize them into different taxonomies. The problem of the most used theories is that they adopt a cultural-independent perspective while many entities that are considered "values" are grounded in commonsense knowledge and expressed in everyday life interaction. We propose here two ontological modules, FOLK, an ontology for values intended in their broad sense, and That's All Folks, a module for lexical and factual folk value triggers, whose purpose is to complement the main theories, providing a method for identifying the values that are not contemplated by the major value theories, but which nonetheless play a key role in daily human interactions, and shape social structures, cultural biases, and personal beliefs. The resource is tested via performing automatic detection of values from text with a frame-based approach.
翻译:价值观,在伦理学的含义中,决定了道德和社会规范的形式与有效性,将我们日常的个人和群体行为植根于常识性知识之上。对人类互动中潜在道德内容的形式化是一个极具吸引力的视角,有助于更深入地理解社会动态以及个体认知和行为维度。为解决此问题,若干理论框架提供了不同的价值观模型,并将其组织成不同的分类体系。然而,多数主流理论采用了一种文化独立的视角,而许多被视为“价值观”的实体实际上根植于常识性知识,并在日常生活互动中得以表达。本文提出两个本体模块:FOLK,一个广义层面的价值观本体;以及“这便是所有人”,一个用于词汇和事实性民间价值观触发器的模块。其目的在于补充主流理论,提供一种识别未被主要价值观理论涵盖,却在日常人类互动中扮演关键角色,并塑造社会结构、文化偏见与个人信念的价值观的方法。该资源通过采用基于框架的方法从文本中自动检测价值观进行了测试。
