Re: [Mak-developer] Call for Requests- Knowledge Association Layers

[Frank V. C. <fr...@co...>]

Is the "dimensional" view aspect akin to an orthogonal view based on the
"attribute" space?

So if I have:

concept Foo
	attribute A string;
	attribute B string;


I can view it in terms of 'A' or 'B'?

or is it more

concept Foo;

concept Bar
	attribute HasFoo Foo;

and view it in terms of HasFoo?
