Abstract
Knowledge models are supposed to capture knowledge of lasting value in a reusable form. However, reuse of these models is hampered by arbitrary and application-specific constraints; any constraints that conflict with a new application must be altered or removed before the models can be reused. This article explores seven facets of conceptual relativity that would impact the use of Formal Concept Analysis formalisms to represent knowledge, demonstrating that the capture of application-specific constraints is inextricable from the modelling process.Proceedings Title
