Reflections on Abstractions: Roaming the Subsumption Continuum

We make the step from basic kinds of subsuming abstractions to real world modelling problems, by introducing the subsumption continuum. Continue reading

Reflections on Abstractions: Joining Classification by Relationships and Properties

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

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.

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: Generalisation and Aggregation

Abstraction Awareness is about gaining a deeper understanding of abstraction. With basic means of Graph Theory we diff among two kinds of abstraction: abstraction wrt. generalisation and aggregation. Continue reading
