groups ten contributions into four areas of research, the first being
representation, semantics semantics [Gr.,=significant] in general, the study of the relationship between words and meanings. The empirical study of word meanings and sentence meanings in existing languages is a branch of linguistics; the abstract study of meaning in relation to language or , and models. The second section elaborates on
the first by looking specifically at conceptual data models.
Incorporating fuzzy object-oriented capabilities into existing systems
makes up the third part, while the final section presents applications
in information modeling and databases. Two US-based authors wrote one of
the chapters; the others are by experts from Vietnam, Canada, and
Europe.
