The glossary is being gradually proof checked, but may have typos and misspellings.

A semantic network is a collection of nodes representing objects or concepts. Each node may have named attributes (e.g. "nos_of_legs:4") and directed relationships to other nodes (e.g. "owns"). The possible attributes and relationships are sometimes defined in a formal ontology.
