Meta-structural Graph-Based Design Patterns for Knowledge Representation in Association-Oriented Database Metamodel

Abstract

This paper describes the problems of modeling graph-based structures in Association-Oriented Database Metamodel in the context of knowledge representation system. The basics of Association-Oriented Metamodel solutions, principles of modeling and sample implementations of graph structures have been presented, including labeled graphs as well as generalization of graphs, i.e. hypergraphs. Subsequently, metastructural ontological design patterns dedicated to knowledge representation systems are presented based on example of standard class-instance-feature-value and relationship patterns.
