[28] Knowledge Representation

Conceptual Graphs:
   cg@cs.umn.edu

   Conceptual Graphs are a general semantic network representation of
   knowledge invented by John Sowa. They have the expressive power of
   logic, but with an easy mapping to natural language.

   See, for example,

      John F. Sowa, "Conceptual Structures: Information Processing in
      Man and Machine", Addison-Wesley, Reading, Mass, 1984.

      John Florian Sowa, "Knowledge Representation", forthcoming.
