what is meant by representation ?
what do we want to represent ?
what do we want to represent ? • things, objects • processes • knowledge
representing things description • attributes • function, behaviour, structure • relationships • typological • aggregation, part-whole • connectivity, adjacency, etc 5/29
representing things • graphic information • geometry, topology • non-graphic information • typological • function, behaviour, material • aggregation, part-whole • connectivity, adjacency, etc
representing processes • how to do something • how to build • how to draw • how to move
representing knowledge • not facts about things • relationships between facts
