Abstract

This paper presents the AR fairness metamodel, a framework designed to represent, analyze, and compare different fairness scenarios. The metamodel considers key elements, such as agents, resources, and their attributes, and enables the systematic definition and comparison of various fairness measures. We provide examples involving both discrete and continuous measures, including equality, equity, group fairness, individual fairness, the Gini index, the Theil index, Jain's fairness index, and a detailed fairness measure for Australia's Child Care Subsidy. We also explore relationships among group fairness, individual fairness, and envy-freeness, supported by formal proofs. At the conceptual modeling level, our approach builds on the Tiles framework, which offers modular components that can be connected to capture diverse fairness definitions. The goal is to make AR-based fairness definitions practical and adaptable across contexts, providing a clear way to define, compare, and evaluate them. An implementation of the Tiles framework is available as an open-source tool, and can support fairness modeling and evaluation across a wide range of applications.
