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:
is-a-relation
has-a-relation
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:
- Synonymy
- Antonymy
- Causation
- 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?
