Abstract
When humans formulate their knowledge about some domain of interest, they usually recognize objects and their properties. Objects and attributes (properties) are, indeed, primary phenomena when the physical world is observed. When experts start exploring an unknown area of interest, their first step is to identify relevant objects and their attributes. Then, experts identify what objects have which attributes. With this object-attribute knowledge at hand, experts can start further investigations such as various kinds of relationships among attributes and a natural classification scheme. Attributes can be useful in devising suitable criteria according to which the objects relevant to the domain may be naturally classified. In addition, it is often found that, to get an insightful view into the domain of interest, a reasonable conceptual system is required to be established—that is, a collection of concepts (specific to the domain) with basic relationships among the concepts.
