Real-world applications are often complex systems where several ways of analysing a given situation can be expressed, depending on actors’ viewpoints. This paper proposes a semantically sound syntactic extension to Conceptual Graphs, namely Conceptual Graph Assemblies (CGAs), that allows the representation of multiple viewpoints on the same situation. Several reasoning mechanisms, based on the projection operation, corresponding to different strength levels and adapted to multi-viewpoints situations are then demonstrated. Several modelling scenarios are then proposed and our work is put in the context of real world examples from the agri-food domain.
