Elements of a Semantic Network

Title: Elements of a Semantic Network
Description: A semantic network is comprised of three basic elements:

• concepts are any ideas or thoughts that have meaning
• relations describe specific kinds of links or relationships between two concepts
• instances (of a relation) consist of two concepts linked by a specific relation

Every semantic network is an assembly of many concepts, relations, and instances. [The diagram] illustrates the relations between these elements.
