Title: Leonardi.DB: A Database of Aristotelian Diagrams
Abstract:  Aristotelian diagrams, such as the square of opposition, are
among the oldest and most well-known types of logical diagrams. Within the
burgeoning research program of logical geometry, we have been developing a
comprehensive database of Aristotelian diagrams that occur in the extant
literature: Leonardi.DB (the Leuven Ontology for Aristotelian Diagrams, and
its corresponding Database). In this talk, which is based on joint work
with Hans Smessaert, I will present Leonardi.DB to the universal logic
research community. We describe the philosophical background and main
motivations for Leonardi.DB, focusing on how the database provides a solid
empirical foundation for theoretical research within logical geometry. We
also discuss some of the main methodological and technical aspects of the
database development. As a proof-of-concept, we provide some examples of
the new kinds of research that will be facilitated by Leonardi.DB, e.g.,
regarding broad trends in the usage and visual properties of Aristotelian
diagrams.
