Areas are presented as colored boxes based on the number of relationship types, i.e., areas with the same number of relationship types have the same color. An area is labeled by the set of its relationship types and the number of concepts that it summarizes in parentheses. Areas are connected by child-of links shown as bold upward arrows. c The partial-area taxonomy for a. Partial-areas are shown as white boxes inside areas. A partial-area is labeled by its root concept and the number of concepts that it summarizes in parentheses. Partial-areas are connected by child-of links represented as bold arrows, as in the area taxonomy
