# Expanding the Utility of Semantic Networks Through Partitioning

Gary G. Hendrix

*Proceedings of the Fourth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*, pages 115-120.

## Abstract

An augmentation of semantic networks is presented in which the various nodes and arcs are partitioned into "net spaces." These net spaces delimit the scopes of quantified variables, distinguish hypothetical and imaginary situations from reality, encode 0:1 ternati ve worlds considered in planning, and focus attention at particular levels of detail.
