I have encountered a few random sources, that explains to a layman what a semantic net is.

this source explains, there are three different relations within a semantic net:

  1. is-a-relation

  2. has-a-relation

  3. is-an-instance-of-relation

The German Wikipedia-article on semantic nets lists more relations:

additionally to the above three relations, four further are enumerated:

  1. Synonymy
  2. Antonymy
  3. Causation
  4. Feature

All 7 relations being described by having or not having features of reflexivity, transivity and symmetry.

Is there a standard set or different sets of relations for semantic nets within linguistics?
