Concept lattice

A concept lattice is a mathematical structure that may be used to model an ontology (computer science).

It is an n-dimensional lattice, where each dimension describes a true-or-false answer to an axiomatic proposition, e.g.: "the sun will come up tomorrow", or "I am a mortal being".
