Abstract
Proposed are concepts of transforming a spreadsheet (or set of spreadsheets) into a knowledge base for analysis and error detection. Such a concept may convert a spreadsheet into an abstracted model that facilitates error detection. For instance, by turning the semi-structured cell-based data representation into a structured abstract model, it may be possible to perform analysis and/or error detection that would otherwise not be possible with the existing cell-based tools.
