Abstract
Geometric modeling is a very complicated matter in its own. But in many applications the real challenge is the integration of geometry with other kinds of information. That is especially true for geometric modeling and knowledge representation (KR). Feature concepts have been developed (at least in part) for this integration, but they are strongly related to current geometric modeling approaches. A deep, conceptual integration of knowledge representation and geometric modeling seems to be an open issue.
