Introduction to the AAT

revised May 2019 For educational purposes



A

broader

term

provides

immediate

class

or

genus

to

a

concept,

serves

to

clarify

its

meaning



Narrower

term

is

always

a

type

of

its

broader

context



E.g.,

orthographic

projections

is

the

broader

context

for

plans

because

all

plans

are

orthographic

(parallel

lines

projecting

from

perpendicular

plane

rather

than

projecting

back

into

space)
