Talk:Conceptual graph

Latest comment: 7 years ago by Jefferythomas

I was hoping someone could wander along and answer my question:

What kind of datastructure is normally used to represent a conceptual graph in memory?

I get the impression that it's often a normal production-rules logic representation of some kind, so that the conceptual network is really a bunch of disconnected statements in memory that define a graph as opposed to actually being one (in short, edges aren't pointers).

I tried to look around on some relevant websites, but they seem to concentrate more on the graphs themselves than on their representation in memory.


In cogitant [1], the internal data structure of a conceptual graph is a graph. 90.41.116.163 (talk) 20:44, 20 June 2010 (UTC)Reply


I think the first diagram contains an error. Both relationship nodes are labeled "agent" whereas the equivalent CGIF mentions (agent ..) and (location ..). I think the rightmost relationship node in the diagram should be labeled "location" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.215.33.235 (talk) 22:38, 11 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Pierce? edit

I don't see how this article can fail to mention C.S. Pierce...... Tmusgrove (talk) 00:17, 2 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Pierce should be mentioned but he should be added by someone very familiar with Pierce's work. In the meantime perhaps add a link to Charles Sanders Pierce should be added to the See Also section of the Wiki. Jefferythomas (talk) 19:29, 23 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Excessive external links edit

I moved the following links from the EL section. Some might make good sources to support article content, but anything else doesn't belong there:

  • Uta Priss's table and Arisbe's list (with Wayback Machine links).
  • Graph-Based Knowledge Representation (book)
  • John F. Sowa - Conceptual Graphs
  • Sowa, John F. "Laws, Facts, and Contexts: Foundations for Multimodal Reasoning".
  • University of Aalborg Online Course
  • CoGui
  • Cogitant
  • Formal Concept Analysis, Uta Priss, Napier University, UK.

I don't understand why you would remove the Sowa references. Peirce should also be mentioned. Jefferythomas (talk) 17:48, 23 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
