Abstract

A knowledge representation system is presented, based on the use of a semantic net on which a higher level structure of frames has been superimposed. The system was designed for use with a natural language system for finding the correct senses of ambiguous words in context. An examination of several linguistic examples shows how the representation system facilitates associative searches of context for potentially appropriate senses of ambiguous words, and how the results of such searches can often provide definite referents. The system also embodies novel approaches to the representation of multiple subparts, and of similar, but different, entities.
