Meaning of semantic nets
• Semantic nets were originally proposed in the
early 1960s by M. Ross Quillian to represent
the meaning of English words
• The basic idea behind semantic nets is that
how it carries meaning of the concept and how
is related with other concepts
• Semantic nets consist of nodes, links (edges)
and link labels.
ELEMENTS USEDIN SEMANTIC NETS
• In the semantic network diagram, nodes appear as
circles or ellipses or rectangles to represent objects
such as physical objects, concepts or situations.
• Links or Arcs appear as arrows to express the
relationships between objects
• Link Labels specify particular relations.
• Relationships provide the basic structure for organizing
knowledge.
• As nodes are associated with other nodes semantic
nets are also referred to as associative nets.
Example of semantic network
IS A
SUBSET OF SUBSET OF
MEMBER OF MEMBER OFSISTER OF
Example of semantic network
Example of semantic network
Is intended to represent the data:
• Tom is a cat.
• Tom caught a bird.
• Tom is owned by John.
• Tom is ginger in color.
• Cats like cream.
• The cat sat on the mat.
• A cat is a mammal.
• A bird is an animal.
• All mammals are animals.
• Mammals have fur.
INTERSECTION SEARCH
In semantic nets, to find
relationships among objects are
determined by spreading activation
out from each of 2 nodes and
identify where the activation
meets. This process is called
intersection search.
Example of INTERSECTION SEARCH
Representingnon-binary predicates
• Semantic nets are a natural way to represent
relationships that would appear as ground
instances of binary predicates in logic
• For example :
• Is a(baseball player, pitcher)
• Is a(baseball player, fielder)
• Instance(three-finger brown ,pitcher)
• Instance(pee-wee Reese ,fielder)
• Team(three-finger brown , Chicago cubs)
• Team(pee-wee Reese ,Brooklyn dodgers)
Score(cubs,dodgers,5-3)
Representing non-binary predicates
Making some important distinctions
• By defining the relationship the complexity of
the relation can also be easily represented in
semantic nets .
• For example : tom weight is 60 kg.
GREATER THAN
PARTITIONEDSEMANTICNETS
 Hendrix developed the partitioned semantic network
to represent the difference between the description of
an individual object or process and the description of a
set of objects. The set description involves
quantification.
 Hendrix partitioned a semantic network whereby a
semantic network, loosely speaking, can be divided
into one or more networks for the description of an
individual.
 The central idea of partitioning is to allow groups,
nodes and arcs to be bundled together into units called
spaces – fundamental entities in partitioned networks,
on the same level as nodes and arcs
PARTITIONEDSEMANTICNETS
• Suppose that we wish to make a specific
statement about a dog, Danny, who has
bitten a postman, Peter:
– " Danny the dog bit Peter the postman"
• Hendrix’s Partitioned network would express
this statement as an ordinary semantic
network:
Danny
bite
B
postman
Peter
Is a Is a Is a
assailant victim
S1

advantages
• Easy to visualise and understand.
• The knowledge engineer can arbitrarily
defined the relationships.
• Related knowledge is easily
categorised.
• Efficient in space requirements.
• Related knowledge is
easily clustered.
disadvantages
• Inheritance (particularly from
multiple sources and when
exceptions in inheritance are
wanted) can cause problems.
• Facts placed inappropriately
cause problems.
• No standards about node and arc values
• This not describes the attributes.
