An Object Model for the Representation of Empirical Knowledge

Abstract

We are currently designing an object oriented model which describes static and dynamical knowledge in diff{é}rent domains. It provides a twin conceptual level. The internal level proposes: the object structure composed of sub-objects hierarchy, structure evolution with dynamical functions, same type objects comparison with evaluation functions. It uses multiple upward inheritance from sub-objects properties to the Object. The external level describes: object environment, it enforces object types and uses external simple inheritance from the type to the sub-types.
