We propose an ontological pattern for dealing with the material constitution relation in Geology domain. This is important because geologists are often interested only in properties that are dependent to the matter (the rock, the minerals) or to the object (a geological unit, a grain). The scale of analysis is very important in Geology and may range from millimeters to kilometers. Differentiating the matter from the object that it constitutes allows one to represent properties from different scales separately. We first provide a short review of the state of the art for the constitution relation and how our vision fits within the existing theories.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-33223-5_23
