| Summary: | This chapter examines the nature of semantic relations and their main applications in
information science. The nature and types of semantic relations are discussed from the perspectives of

as thesauri and ontologies are provided, as well as the main techniques used in the automatic
extraction of semantic relations from text. The chapter then reviews the use of semantic relations in
information extraction, information retrieval, question-answering and automatic text summarization
applications. |
