Theory and Applications of Relational Structures as Knowledge Instruments II

This book constitutes the major results of the EU COST (European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research) Action 274: TARSKI - Theory and Applications of Relational Structures as Knowledge Instruments - running from July 2002 to June 2005. The papers are devoted to further understanding of interdisciplinary issues involving relational reasoning by addressing relational structures and the use of relational methods in applicable object domains.
