What is a "semantic network"?
A semantic network is a way of organizing and representing knowledge where concepts are connected by relationships based on meaning. It resembles a web of ideas, where each concept, or "node," is linked to others by lines that represent the relationships between them, such as "is a type of" or "is part of." For example, in a semantic network about animals, "dog" might be connected to "mammal" and "pet." This structure helps in understanding how ideas and meanings are related to each other, and it is often used in fields like linguistics, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence to model human knowledge and language understanding.
