Abstract. We use higher-order, type-theoretic Situation Theory to model semantic concepts as situation-theoretical objects consisting of parametric information. Situation Theory contributes by representing concepts as classes of parametric objects, in a computational way. We use concepts that are often expressed by human language in taxonomy classifications, as a demonstration of the situation theoretical approach to model parametric information in abstract concepts.
