Semantic Networks and Associative Databases: Two Approaches to Knowledge Representation and Reasoning

Two models, one originating from an artificial-intelligence paradigm and the other from database research, that incorporate connectionist techniques into their knowledge representation and reasoning processes are described. The first approach, called evidential reasoning, is based on semantic networ...
