1. A domain-specific concept model architecture, comprising:
- a plurality of concepts, each concept comprising at least one element, the plurality of concepts comprising a first concept and a second concept;
a plurality of relations, each relation defining how each concept relates to a property or an attribute, the plurality of relations comprising a first relation, a second relation, a third relation and a fourth relation;
each of the plurality of concepts having an identity associated with a macro meaning;
the first concept being logically mapped to the second concept via a first relation;
the second concept being logically mapped to the first concept via a second relation;
a plurality of attributes comprising a first attribute, each attribute defining information about the concept to which the attribute is related;
the first concept being logically mapped to a first attribute via a third relation;
the first attribute being logically mapped to the first concept via a fourth relation.

Abstract
The invention defines a domain specific concept model that is flexible, intuitive, and which easily integrates into disparate, but similarly architected, domain-specific databases. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).
