The process or result of listing thetypes of objects, concepts and other entities that are assumed toexist in some area of interest and the relationships that holdamong them. A conceptualisation is an abstract, simplified viewof the world that we wish to represent. For example, we mayconceptualise a family as the set of names, sexes and therelationships of the family members. Choosing aconceptualisation is the first stage of knowledgerepresentation. A conceptualisation is a high-level data model.Every knowledge base, knowledge-based system, orknowledge-level agent is committed to someconceptualisation, explicitly or implicitly.
