Reflections on Abstractions: Joining Classification by Relationships and Properties

Posted on 2013 June 3 by modelpractice

How does classification based on properties go together with relationship based classes? In addition to the former posting “Concepts vs Modules for Classification”, the fit of concept lattices and relationship graphs is examined in more detail. Continue reading →

Reflections on Abstractions: Concepts vs Modules for Classification

Posted on 2013 May 3 by modelpractice

A Concept (as in Formal Concept Analysis) and a Module (as in Graph Theory) both cover the notion of Classification. Although they share the same basic idea, they reveal differences in detail. Continue reading →

Reflections on Abstractions in Relational Structures. The very basic Setting.

Posted on 2013 April 2 by modelpractice

Abstractional concepts can be found in the very basics of Graph Theory and Formal Concept Analysis. They provide the basic elements of Classification, Aggregation and Generalisation for a deeper rigorous analysis of Abstractions. Continue reading →

Reflections on Abstractions: Classification and Generalisation by Conceptualisation

Posted on 2013 March 22 by modelpractice

It is demonstrated how the basic notion of Concept in Formal Concept Analysis covers two of the fundamental notions of Abstraction: Classification and Generalisation. This is why conceptualisation is so highly valuable in examining entities and their properties. Continue reading →
