Talk:Semantic link
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I came here by accident more then on purpose, so forgive me if I don't fully grasp the text of the article.
What I do understand (in my own words) is that a semantic link is more of less a labeled link connecting nodes in a web.
When these labels are predefined as (a hierarchy of) categories these labels could be seen as types. This would make automated semantic interpretation relative easy to do by software. Adding new relationships could proof to be more difficult however.
When labels are not predefined, their meaning (semantics) is defined by their usage. New relations can be created whenever needed. Just by labeling a link with a new label. Automated semantic interpretation however will be much more complicated. Because any new label will most likely require additional logic to process correctly. Someone will have to add this to the system. Being able to define the meaning of sets of labels and being able to define equivalent classes between sets could be helpful as well.
Is this a correct interpretation and line of reasoning? -- Madiuq 22:20, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
