Abstract

Knowledge representation is the cornerstone of constructing a GKG. The existing representations of spatial and computational relations in GKGs, however, are inadequate. In this paper, we use DE-9IM to represent spatial topological relations. To represent computational relations, we use typed lambda calculus via its implementation in the functional language Haskell, in which functions are first-class primitives. We exemplify our ideas through some basic examples in Haskell.
