The purpose of Conceptual Modeling is to help us disregard irrelevant structures by building relationships between idealized concepts that focus on what is essential.
Efficient concepts disregard almost everything in a way that is noticed as little as possible.
The power of thinking is knowling what not to think about. Conzilla Conzilla is a first prototype of what we call a concept browser , which is a tool for the organization and exploration of electronically stored components of information. An efficient concept browser creates an overview of the different concepts under study by supporting a separation between their context and their content . The principles behind the design of efficient concept browsers have been developed at CID over the past two years, and are discussed in detail in CID-52 . We are convinced that many of the design-lessons learned from working with the mathematics archive will improve the performance of Conzilla in other domain areas as well.
