Help for clustering

Clustering creates a (or several) viewpoint(s) from the set of available objects in a concept. It is one of the most advanced feature of the Troeps system.

For that purpose, Troeps will:

It will be then up to the user to modify these viewpoints (changing names, deleting classes or the whole viewpoint...).

It order to launch clustering, it must be provided with the following information:

Moreover, if a strictly positive weight is given to a field whose type is another concept, Troeps will ask how to compute the dissimilarity between the objects of that concept. It can use a topological dissimilarity (basically computing the distance between the classes to which the objects are attached) in an already existing viewpoint or compute (through clustering) a new viewpoint (to which in turn Troeps will ask for weights). This last option is available by selecting "**new**".

For some algorithms, a set of parameters might be provided by the user. In the current implementation, no parameter is available.
