Domain Analysis & Description - The Implicit and Explicit Semantics Problem

Dines Bjørner
(Technical University of Denmark)

A domain analysis & description calculus is introduced. It is shown to alleviate the issue of implicit semantics. The claim is made that domain descriptions, whether informal, or as also here, formal, amount to an explicit semantics for what is otherwise implicit if not described.
