“…In recent years, the interest in ternary relations is on the rise, as they play an important role in many theoretical and applied areas. From a theoretical point of view, ternary relations have been studied in mathematics (e.g., in algebra [7,19], in (fuzzy) triadic formal concept analysis [5,14,18] and in logic [21]). In applications, (fuzzy) ternary relations can be found in many different areas, for instance in social sciences (e.g., philosophy [3]), in biology (e.g., modelling of phylogenies [28]), in computer science (e.g., the Resource Description Framework (RDF) [27]).…”
