Abstract. This paper addresses the problem of merging qualitative constraint networks (QCNs) defined on different qualitative formalisms. Our model is restricted to formalisms wher...
Because botanical taxonomies are prototypical classifications it would seem that it should be easy to formalize them as concept lattices or type hierarchies. On closer inspection,...
