Abstract |
This paper describes an approach to representing mathematical concepts in a
knowledge base which is structured by a subsumption relation between
concepts. Two kinds of concepts are examined: Propositional concepts, with
the subsumption relation given by a generalized implication, and
parameterized theories, with the subsumption relation given by theory
morphisms. It is shown which kinds of reasoning activities can be supported
by such a knowledge base. A type theory in which the entities to be
represented are first-class objects serves as formal framework.
