Despite the field diversity, all ''structural analog'' analysis use some level of abstraction to transform [[Conceptual model|models]] in [[Graph (discrete mathematics)|mathematical graphs]], and detected structural analogies by [[algorithms]]. Example: for molecular structure comparison and classification operations, the compared compounds are modeled as a [[Graph (discrete mathematics)|mathematical graph]].<ref>C Ashby et all (2013), "New enumeration algorithm for protein structure comparison and classification", BMC Genomics [httphttps://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1471-2164-14-S2-S1 DOI:10.1186/1471-2164-14-S2-S1]</ref>

[[Analogical models]] are used in a method of representing a ‘[[Open system (systems theory)|target system]]’ by another, more understandable or analysable system.
