Ontologies are useful because they Systemize the many existing parameters, recognize the redundancies and vacancies Can lead to new and useful characterizations. Provide machine-recognizable categories of information Provide a vocabulary for communication between people in diverse fields who use and study surface metrology. All of the above None of the above Scientific laws Are derivable though an elaborate series of theorems and corollaries Can be proved through a series of carefully designed experiments Must be falsifiable Cannot be proved, only disproved a&b; only c&d; only a&d; only b&c; only What are the principles proposed for facilitating the ability discriminate with confidence on the basis of topography and to discover strong correlations with surface topographies? The measurement, analysis and characterization should be at the appropriate scales. The average roughness, skew and kurtosis are the most likely to correlate. The appropriate geometric property should be characterized. The height parameters contain all the required spatial information for correlation and discrimination The measurement should have the appropriate fidelity. All of the above None of the above a, c and e only What distinguishes scientific and experiential disciplines? Science is based on facts and is always right and cannot be falsifiable Scientific disciplines are more difficult to understand, teach and learn Experiential disciplines do not use the scientific process Experiential disciplines are based on standards and best practices and lack overarching principles, laws or axioms that can be applied to solving a wide variety of problems All of the above a and b only b and d only

Solution

1. e) all of the above

scientific laws are always proved

2. h) b and c only

3.

4. g) b and d only
