  • Abstract
    Knowledge representation is a major component of knowledge acquisition. A theoretical model for the representation of knowledge in a given problem domain is developed through the use of the mathematical notion of neighborhood. The model as flexible enough to support the representation of a semantic structure which can be mathematically encoded as a weak distance, a binary relation, or a topology. A concrete situation is developed which demonstrates the application of various aspects of the theory
