Abstract
A database or knowledge-based system must draw on a conceptual
schema that defines the domain concepts with which its user works.
In the case of a system for architectural design support, for
example, this might be concepts of walls, windows etc. However,
making concepts explicit and expressing them in a conceptual
schema, is generally difficult. I believe and assume that it is
much easier for people to grasp and represent a specific instance
of a concept, than the concept itself in full generality. Based on
this assumption, I propose a method for relatively easy
(semi-automated) construction of a conceptual schema from
examples. The method relies on a set-theoretic formalism for
design support systems, the SOFA notation, which is currently
under development.
