Abstract: This paper discusses the theoretical problem of matching and abstraction of concepts as the processes occur in human minds, and the structures used to represent these processes for use in automated, knowledge based systems. A basic premise of the paper is that hierarchies play a crucial role in structuring knowledge and in solving problems. Data representation, knowledge bases, partial matching, information retrieval, and synthesis of novel semantic interpretations are explored. Finally, key research issues are identified. (SW)
