semantic network

A semantic network is a way of representing knowledge in a graph form, where concepts are connected by relationships. Think of it like a web of ideas: each concept (like "dog" or "mammal") is a node, and the lines between them show how they relate (like "is a" or "has a"). This structure helps organize information logically, enabling computers to understand and retrieve knowledge more effectively. It mimics how humans relate different pieces of information in their minds, making it useful in fields like artificial intelligence and information retrieval.
