  Property (disambiguation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A property of an object is some intrinsic or extrinsic quality of that object, where the nature of the "object" in question will depend on the field, as, for example, indicated below.
In philosophy, mathematics, and logic, a property is an abstraction characterizing an object.
Property also is the name of a novel by Valerie Martin.

Modern property rights can be said to begin with the transition from ownership by entities as being the primary form of property right, to the theory that property rights are to promote the general good, and specifically encourage economic development and utilization of property.
Property is usually thought of in terms of a bundle of rights as defined and protected by the local sovereignty.
Pauline Peters argued that property systems are not isolable from the social fabric, and notions of property may not be stated as such, but instead may be framed in negative terms: for example the taboo system among Polynesian peoples.

 Property - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Property rights are found in the oldest laws written down, and equate the expectation of use or profit to some payment from the very beginning.
Aristotle, in Politics, advocates "private property." In one of the first known expositions of tragedy of the commons he says, "that which is common to the greatest number has the least care bestowed upon it.
Through property rights, Blackstone thought, which is why he emphasized that indemnification must be awarded a nonconsenting owner whose property is taken by eminent domain, and that a property owner is protected against physical invasion of his property by the laws of trespass and nuisance.

 Property (ownership right) -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In common use, property is simply 'one's own thing' and refers to the relationship between individuals and the objects which they see as being their own to dispense with as they see fit.
If private property over land is illegitimate (for example, due to the fact that it was first instituted by force), then it follows that private property in general is illegitimate.
Communal Property systems describe ownership as belonging to the entire social and political unit, while corporate systems describe ownership as being attached to an identifiable group with an identifiable responsible individual: generally a family.

 John Locke - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Because of his opposition to aristocracy and slavery in his major writings, he is accused of hypocrisy, or of caring only for the liberty of English capitalists.
He argues property is a natural right and it is derived from labour.
Rights of property are very important, because each person has a right to the product of his or her labour.

Inheritance is the practice of passing on property, titles, debts, and obligations upon the death of an individual.
Even more radical than the patrilineal succession is the practice of primogeniture whereby all property goes to the eldest child, or often the eldest son (the first-born).
In common law jurisdictions an heir is a person who is entitled to receive a share of the decedent's property via the rules of inheritance in the jurisdiction where the decedent died or owned property at the time of his death.

 Syntax Definition for Language Prototyping: Introduction
A number of general properties of disambiguation filters is defined and several case studies are discussed including disambiguation by means of priorities.
Although disambiguation filters give an abstract account of disambiguation, implementation of disambiguation by means of a filter applied to the parse forest after parsing can be too inefficient for a number of disambiguation methods.
Disambiguation by means of priorities is implemented in the parser generator.

He said that the worst possible situation is one in which the commoners have half a nation's property, with crown and nobility holding the other halfandmdash;a circumstance fraught with instability and violence.
Filmer said that the institution of kingship is analogous to that of fatherhood, that subjects are but children, whether obedient or unruly, and that property rights are akin to the household goods that a father may dole out among his kidsandmdash;his to take back and dispose of according to his pleasure.
Bastiat's main treatise on property can be found in chapter 8 of his book Economic Harmonies (1850).2 In a radical departure from traditional property theory, he defines property not as a physical object, but rather as a relationship between people with respect to an object.

 Hartwell Lake Property   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Property is defined as the right, legal or moral, to ultimately determine the use and control of something, including theright to transfer such rights to others.
It is distinguished from control, which may be transferred separately: for example, abuilding remains the property of landlord even when the use of it is contractually transferred to a tenant.
Modern property rights conceive of ownership and possession as belonging to legal individuals, even if the legal individual isnot a real person.

 Artificial Intelligence an Natural Language
Disambiguation is used in order to solve these ambiguities in an automatic way.
We can start by defining objects or classes from which we will derive other objects adding to each new class some more property that characterize it (are you familiar with the concept of heredity of modern programming languages?).
Well, you probably remember we were dealing the problem of the ambiguity and the techniques of disambiguation.

The language property is restricted to the values found in RFC 3066 [5] The type of the category property is 'nice' which designates the classification of goods and services found in the Nice Agreement on International Classification of Products and Services [4].
The source service ID is a required CNRP property but it is listed here to be sure to note that uniqueness discussed earlier includes the source of the results as one of the facets that determine uniqueness.
This does result in the case where a client may be required to disambiguate between two or more record sets when the client does not provide sufficient information in the query for the service to do the disambiguation.

 Wikinfo | Trust   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In common law legal systems, a trust is a situtation in which a person or persons (the trustees) have legal control over certain property (the trust property), but is/are bound to exercise that legal control for the benefit of other persons (the beneficiaries).
For example, the Privy Council has held that if a fiduciary accepts bribes or makes an improper profit, a constructive trust is thereby created, by which the fiduciary holds the bribes or improper profit as trustee of a constructive trust for the benefit of the principal.
Often a person, A, wishes to leave property to another person B. A however fears that the property might be claimed by creditors before A dies, and that therefore B would receive none of it.

The complexity analysis of disambiguation implies that efficient probabilistic disambiguation under the DOP model and various similar performance models can not be achieved using conventional optimization techniques; this suggests that it is necessary to involve non-conventional optimization techniques and extra-linguistic sources of knowledge for achieving efficient probabilistic disambiguation.

The last remaining task for disambiguation is to choose either oven or stove (signaled in the input by the corresponding word senses of range) as the theme of the proposition head prepare-food.
The aspect property in the sem-struc of begin-v2 appears at the level of proposition whose head (marked as ^$var2) is the meaning of the (syntactic) head of the infinitival or gerundive construction occupying the xcomp position in the syntactic dependency of begin-v2, that is, the meaning of sing in John began to sing.
Propositions in the ontological-semantic TMR have the property of time--indicated through reference to the start and/or end times of the event which is the head of the proposition.

Although there are important proprietary details, the basic idea for bootstrapping is to make a stem's vector more like its neighbors by adding a fraction of their vectors to the stem in question.
We make use of a key property of high-dimensional vectors: the ability to be `similar to' a multitude of vectors.
This is the same property that allows the vector sum that represents a document to be similar to individual term vector summands.

 Parsing Fundamentals
When you assign a vocabulary property to an object, you create a word that the player can use in a command, and you assign the word a particular "part of speech." A word's part of speech determines how the word can be used in a sentence, the same way it does in ordinary speech.
property, you're specifying that the word can be used in a player's commands wherever a noun is grammatically valid.
property similarly defines verification and action methods, but since two objects are involved, it must generate not one but two verification methods: one for the direct object, and another for the indirect object.

 Film Props
The choice of evoking the legal concept of "property" in naming props probably reflects the issues of prop management.

It owns the intellectual property to the Meyers 145, 200, and Interceptor 400 aircraft, and as of 2002 was attempting to revive production of the latter two designs.

Lilja Øvrelid: Disambiguating animacy: classification of animacy for syntactic disambiguation
Animacy is an inherent property of the referents of nouns which has been claimed to figure as an influencing factor in a range of different grammatical phenomena in various languages.
In this talk I will motivate treating animacy as a disambiguating factor by briefly presenting a corpus study of simple transitive sentences in Norwegian which clearly shows the influence of the animacy of the arguments on word order variation and argument interpretation.

 Log-linear models.
What makes log-linear models particularly well suited for this application is that the property functions may be sensitive to any information which might be useful for disambiguation.
The results, given in table 3, show some promise, but the performance of the log-linear model does not yet match that of the other disambiguation strategies.
Current work in this area is focused on expanding the set of properties and on using supervised training from what annotated data is available to bootstrap the unsupervised training from large quantities of newspaper text.

 Liberalism - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In the 19th century, the voting franchise in most liberal democracies was extended, and these newly enfranchised citizens often voted in favor of government solutions to the problems they faced in their everyday lives.
The laissez faire economic liberals countered that such laws were an unjust imposition on life, liberty, and property, not to mention a hindrance to economic development.
The ideas of individual liberties, personal dignity, free expression, religious tolerance, private property, universal human rights, transparency of government, limitations on government power, popular sovereignty, national self-determination, privacy, enlightened and rational policy, the rule of law, fundamental equality, a free market economy, and free trade were all radical notions some 250 years ago.

 Research Questions in Grammar Specialisation and Disambiguation
For this reason, we propose to apply disambiguation techniques on lexical dependency structures rather than on syntactic parse trees.
Note, however, that the lack of expressiveness with respect to lexical dependencies is not an inherent property of stochastic context-free grammars, but rather a property of their typical use.
An important aspect of the study of disambiguation techniques concerns their success on a human-annotated test-corpus.

 Behavioral Properties
The non-binding property gives prefetches the flexibility to be issued far in advance of the actual references, without worrying about the impact on correctness.
Even in a uniprocessor, the non-binding property is important since it avoids the correctness problems that can arise when using registers for temporary storage given imperfect memory disambiguation.
Therefore the non-excepting property offers considerable flexibility to the compiler since it is much easier to generate valid prefetch addresses most of the time rather than all of the time.
