This foraallsa atteapts to capture the expressive power of natural language by adopting the underlying representational conventions and \"conceptual aodels\" of English. The foraallsa is built around specialization, which ls perceived to be the key organizing principle of English at a deep conceptual level. The use of specialization in coabinatlon with another low-level structural device, reference, leads to a staple but powerful structure, the concept, which \\s ideal both for the representation of a broad spectrua of conceptual knowledge and for coaputatlon on existing .achines equipped with large, high-speed, randoa-access aeaories.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1975/17","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1975/0017.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1975/17.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1975/bibtex/17","volume":{"slug":"1975","title":"Proceedings of the Fourth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1975","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1975/","year":1975,"location":"Tbilisi, Georgia, USSR","dates":"","editors":"Patrick Winston and Carl Hewitt","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Representation Of Problems and Knowledge","track":"Representation Of Problems and Knowledge","number":17,"pages":{"first":107,"last":113},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
