What is-a is and isn't: an analysis of taxonomic links in semantic networks
Journal Article
·
· Computer; (United States)
The more common interpretations of is-a links are cataloged, and some differences between systems that on the surface appear very similar are pointed out. A rational reconstruction of the is-a relation is developed, and suggestions are made regarding how the next generation of knowledge-representation languages should be structured. In particular, the analysis indicates that meanings might be a lot clearer if is-a were broken down into its semantic subcomponents and those subcomponents then used as the primitives of a representation system. 9 references.
