About

Concept-orientation is a new emerging programming, data modelling and computing paradigm. The main purpose of this site is to serve as a growing resource sharing and organizing the work and thoughts on this new direction in computer science for those interested in learning about it.

Getting Started

• Concept-oriented programming

• Concept-oriented_model

• Informal Introduction into the Concept-Oriented Programming - This paper provides a simple introduction into the concept-oriented programming (PDF)

• Informal Introduction into the Concept-Oriented Data Model This paper provides a simple introduction into the concept-oriented data model (PDF)

• FAQ on the Concept-Oriented Programming (COP)This FAQ is intended to answer questions on the concept-oriented programming. In particular, it introduces and explains main COP principles, main COP constructs and mechanisms, and main COP programming patterns.

• FAQ on the Concept-Oriented Data Model (COM)This FAQ answers such questions as what is the concept-oriented data model (COM) syntax and semantics, what are concepts and items, dimensions and relationships, grouping and aggregation. It also covers some implementation issues and provides a comparison with other data models and data modeling approaches.
