Analyzing and Modeling Data and Knowledge -

. .

Résumé :
The volume contains revised versions of papers presented at the 15th Annual Meeting of the Gesellschaft f}r Klassifika- tion. Papers were arranged in the following three parts which were the main streams of discussion during the confe- rence: 1. Data Analysis, Classification 2. Data Modeling, Knowledge Processing, 3. Applications, Special Subjects. New results on developing mathematical and statistical methods allowing quantitative analysis of data are reported on. Tools for representing, modeling, storing and processing da- ta and knowledge are discussed. Applications in astro-phycics, archaelogy, biology, linguistics, and medicine are presented.
