Foundation model... refers to AI systems with broad capabilities that can be adapted to a range of different, more specific purposes. In other words, the original model provides a base(hence "foundation") on which other things can be built. This is in contrast to many other [artificial intelligence(AI) ] systems, which are specifically trained and then used for a particular purpose. 3, record 1, English, - foundation%20model

The foundation of RDF is a model for representing named properties and property values. The RDF model draws on well-established principles from various data representation communities. RDF properties may be thought of as attributes of resources and in this sense correspond to traditional attribute-value pairs. RDF properties also represent relationships between resources and an RDF model can therefore resemble an entity-relationship diagram. 1, record 5, English, - attribute%20of%20resource

La fondation de RDF est un modèle pour représenter des propriétés et des valeurs de propriétés données. Le modèle RDF s'appuie sur des principes bien établis provenant des différentes communautés de représentation des données. Vous pouvez imaginer les propriétés RDF comme les attributs de ressources et en ce sens elles correspondent aux paires traditionnelles attribut-valeur. Les propriétés RDF représentent également les relations entre les ressources et un modèle RDF qui peut par conséquent ressembler à un diagramme entité-relation (ER). 1, record 5, French, - attribut%20de%20ressource

Is Refrigerated Transportation Ready for HACCP?... Is HACCP the appropriate model for ensuring produce safety? The development of science based data and the practical evaluation of refrigerated transportation as a critical control point in a systematic hazard analysis of food safety for fresh produce has been minimal. Although more recently included in generic descriptions of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point templates or the current evolution of Good Agricultural Practices, there is precious little scientific documentation to form a solid foundation to build a HACCP equivalency program. 2, record 7, English, - refrigerated%20transport

The purpose of the nondirective model is to provide a foundation for personal growth and development so that learning will continue throughout life in a self-directed manner. This model is based on Carl Rogers work, and the idea that instruction should be based on human relations. Nondirective teaching brings the student and teacher together to guide the students’ learning. The model can be very unstructured in that the student decides what they will learn next and why. It may also be used in conjunction with other models. 1, record 8, English, - nondirective%20teaching

Robinson abstracted from [the notion of relatively algebraically closed in] a notion of model completion of a theory, and proved that the model completion is unique if it exists.... The systematic use of these ideas by Robinson led to the nicest applications of model theory, to Hilbert's 17th problem, and to Artin's conjecture.(Source : Handbook of Mathematical Logic; Studies in Logic and the Foundation of Mathematics Series, vol. 90, 1977, p. 141). 2, record 10, English, - Artin%26rsquo%3Bs%20conjecture
