Information tables with neighborhood semantics
Yiyu Y. Yao · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2000
Information tables provide a convenient and useful tool for representing a set of objects using a group of attributes. This notion is enriched by introducing neighborhood systems on attribute values. The neighborhood systems represent the semantics relationships between, and knowledge about, attribute values. With added semantics, neighborhood based information tables may provide a more general framework for knowledge discovery, data mining, and information retrieval.
