We can therefore only make limited use of formal knowledge organization methods to support researchers and other interested parties with features such as automatic aggregations, fact checking, consistency checking, question answering, and powerful semantic search. Existing approaches to solve this problem by improving the scientific communication methods have either very restricted coverage, require formal logic skills on the side of the researchers, or depend on unreliable machine learning for the formalization of knowledge. Here, I propose an approach to this problem that is general, intuitive, and flexible. It is based on a unique kind of controlled natural language, called AIDA, consisting of English sentences that are atomic, independent, declarative, and absolute. Such sentences can then serve as nodes in a network of scientific claims linked to publications, researchers, and domain elements. I present here some small studies on preliminary applications of this language. The results indicate that it is well accepted by users and provides a good basis for the creation of a knowledge graph of scientific findings. https://doi.org/10.3233/978-1-61499-904-1-52 http://purl.org/dc/terms/date 2018 https://doi.org/10.3233/978-1-61499-904-1-52 http://purl.org/dc/terms/isPartOf http://id.crossref.org/issn/0922-6389 https://doi.org/10.3233/978-1-61499-904-1-52 http://purl.org/dc/terms/title Using the AIDA Language to Formally Organize Scientific Claims https://doi.org/10.3233/978-1-61499-904-1-52 http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/authorList https://w3id.org/np/RAjWXV2CVxtuCIxXxL4fRIdmk32d4h1MAvdOldr6Qf4FY/author-list https://doi.org/10.3233/978-1-61499-904-1-52 http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type http://purl.org/spar/fabio/BookChapter https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1267-0234 http://schema.org/affiliation https://ror.org/008xxew50 https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1267-0234 http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name Tobias Kuhn https://ror.org/008xxew50 http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name Department of Computer Science, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands https://w3id.org/np/RAjWXV2CVxtuCIxXxL4fRIdmk32d4h1MAvdOldr6Qf4FY/author-list http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#_1 https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1267-0234 https://w3id.org/np/RAjWXV2CVxtuCIxXxL4fRIdmk32d4h1MAvdOldr6Qf4FY/provenance https://w3id.org/np/RAjWXV2CVxtuCIxXxL4fRIdmk32d4h1MAvdOldr6Qf4FY/assertion http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasAttributedTo https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1267-0234 https://w3id.org/np/RAjWXV2CVxtuCIxXxL4fRIdmk32d4h1MAvdOldr6Qf4FY/assertion http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasDerivedFrom https://doi.org/10.3233/978-1-61499-904-1-52 https://w3id.org/np/RAjWXV2CVxtuCIxXxL4fRIdmk32d4h1MAvdOldr6Qf4FY/pubinfo https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1267-0234 http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name Tobias Kuhn https://w3id.org/np/RAjWXV2CVxtuCIxXxL4fRIdmk32d4h1MAvdOldr6Qf4FY http://purl.org/dc/terms/created 2026-02-22T19:44:42.000+01:00 https://w3id.org/np/RAjWXV2CVxtuCIxXxL4fRIdmk32d4h1MAvdOldr6Qf4FY http://purl.org/dc/terms/creator https://w3id.org/np/RAkkUz7qBJ-BIOCHV_4WCTgHCdTyI25_bnRuw166SXjwM/DOI-bot https://w3id.org/np/RAjWXV2CVxtuCIxXxL4fRIdmk32d4h1MAvdOldr6Qf4FY http://purl.org/dc/terms/license https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ https://w3id.org/np/RAjWXV2CVxtuCIxXxL4fRIdmk32d4h1MAvdOldr6Qf4FY http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasNanopubType http://purl.org/spar/fabio/ScholarlyWork https://w3id.org/np/RAjWXV2CVxtuCIxXxL4fRIdmk32d4h1MAvdOldr6Qf4FY http://purl.org/nanopub/x/introduces https://doi.org/10.3233/978-1-61499-904-1-52 https://w3id.org/np/RAjWXV2CVxtuCIxXxL4fRIdmk32d4h1MAvdOldr6Qf4FY http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label Using the AIDA Language to Formally Organize Scientific Claims https://w3id.org/np/RAjWXV2CVxtuCIxXxL4fRIdmk32d4h1MAvdOldr6Qf4FY/sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasAlgorithm RSA https://w3id.org/np/RAjWXV2CVxtuCIxXxL4fRIdmk32d4h1MAvdOldr6Qf4FY/sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasPublicKey MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEArRL5MjH1KfuE89dpKsIiscF/THrJ4uSvhl0NgaC8x3TdTDrL00kCnlH+2g7PMYhaUQIGWq27TTXHAGp7ehO8yLjRNeDCc8zjUCQJqLbzay3DB51PCiz50OsMgxiZC1+e0bVdk/CAQV4oVo+VgI+awHI1bTT4Yp7pR2I67imf1PIcwczGVhn8EQwtNdWQOZ63wDgUCY+6IubHBQzjLfbYh0828UETEyIV28T7fvf5+y4A5M590InmgkLGpJbRXoL0pnCm1BtFOoxeAVqfivbxIZWPYN2Yd0cSfqwIIUYyaLFpjDrBwc4iJdOus4UQ9OYqkeZDMpU3opU8jWKDIm77jwIDAQAB https://w3id.org/np/RAjWXV2CVxtuCIxXxL4fRIdmk32d4h1MAvdOldr6Qf4FY/sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasSignature Vd9H+qwfq1Huewl/b5kERmVstj9f4BkPI6PIiNRfzk5XdUqyBdBPdBxoXgKhjx5THYB1Whxc+xU7EM9fuwc6fK9ixTtdaJH8yAhjj1LaYFMsWOAcK1kd6qZ5QG2KJl6O1R/uG/DyPdhFESyQk7FS8GNKynzSTyD7m3ri393MC7Lwi2XWevfs3qXZ1mM7Xn2SxetBJtJdQNyeJ7srmxsy8tGTsO20Eh81ZtNs9piCPH0CzFs6I6ytR/4ayw7/dDSjQi/PLZJzDzyRqDCVnPIw8ssOuOnkM0QZXpBApxELxJR6Oqwbk5alCjXqs7d2AYg7kvo6gsllH2WgcIJ+cohqJw== https://w3id.org/np/RAjWXV2CVxtuCIxXxL4fRIdmk32d4h1MAvdOldr6Qf4FY/sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasSignatureTarget https://w3id.org/np/RAjWXV2CVxtuCIxXxL4fRIdmk32d4h1MAvdOldr6Qf4FY https://w3id.org/np/RAjWXV2CVxtuCIxXxL4fRIdmk32d4h1MAvdOldr6Qf4FY/sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/signedBy https://w3id.org/np/RAkkUz7qBJ-BIOCHV_4WCTgHCdTyI25_bnRuw166SXjwM/DOI-bot
