representationdescribing
Representationdescribing is a term used to denote the practice of articulating the properties, structure, and semantics of representations employed within a system or theory. It is not a fixed formal field, but a cross-disciplinary activity that appears in mathematics, computer science, cognitive science, linguistics, and information systems. The central aim is to describe how entities are encoded, transformed, and interpreted, rather than to generate the representations themselves.
In mathematics and theoretical computer science, representationdescribing involves detailing representations of algebraic structures, such as group
Methodologically, representationdescribing draws on formal specification languages, schemas, ontologies, documentation practices, and visualization. It emphasizes traceability,
