ConceptStructure¶
Generalization is Identifiable.
Superclass hierarchy
Definition¶
Relation structure of concepts within a collection.
Examples¶
A concept of vacation might be described as having sub-types of beach vacation and mountain vacation.
Explanatory notes¶
The ConcepStructure employs a set of ConceptRelationsips to describe the relationship among concepts. Each ConceptRelationship is a one to many description of connections between concepts. Together they can describe relationships as complex as a hierarchy or even a complete cyclical network as in a concept map. Allows for the specification of complex relationships among concepts.
