Unit-4 Advanced Knowledge Representation

This document discusses conceptual dependency theory, which represents concepts and relationships using conceptual primitives and tenses. It outlines the conceptual tenses used like past, future, transitioning, conditional. Rules are defined for conceptualization blocks and cases. Examples show how concepts like a person's identity and health condition can be represented using this theory with attributes mapped to ranges. Basic conceptual dependencies are defined to represent relationships between concepts.
