"We define a semantic network as 'the collection of all the relationships that concepts have to other concepts, to percepts, to procedures, and to motor mechanisms' of the knowledge." (John F Sowa, "Conceptual Structures", 1984)
"A graph for knowledge representation where concepts are represented as nodes in a graph and the binary semantic relations between the concepts are represented by named and directed edges between the nodes. All semantic networks have a declarative graphical representation that can be used either to represent knowledge or to support automated systems for reasoning about knowledge." (László Kovács et al, "Ontology-Based Semantic Models for Databases", 2009)
"A graph structure useful to represent the knowledge of a domain. It is composed of a set of objects, the graph nodes, which represent the concepts of the domain, and relations among such objects, the graph arches, which represent the domain knowledge. The semantic networks are also a reasoning tool as it is possible to find relations among the concepts of a semantic network that do not have a direct relation among them. To this aim, it is enough 'to follow the arrows' of the network arches that exit from the considered nodes and find in which node the paths meet." (Mario Ceresa, "Clinical and Biomolecular Ontologies for E-Health", Handbook of Research on Distributed Medical Informatics and E-Health, 2009)
"A form of visualization consisting of vertices (concepts) and directed or undirected edges (relationships)." (DAMA International, "The DAMA Dictionary of Data Management", 2011)
"A term used in computer language processing and in RF and OWL to refer to concepts linked by relationships. Memory maps are an informal example of a semantic network." (Kate Taylor, "A Common Sense Approach to Interoperability", 2011)
"nodes, encapsulating data and information, are connected by edges which include information about how these nodes are related to one another." (Simon Boese et al, "Semantic Document Networks to Support Concept Retrieval", 2014)
"A knowledge representation technique that represents the relationships among objects" (Nell Dale & John Lewis, "Computer Science Illuminated" 6th Ed., 2015)
"A knowledge base that represents semantic relations between concepts. Formally, the underlying representation model is a directed graph consisting of nodes, which represent concepts, and links, which represent semantic relations between concepts, mapping or connecting semantic fields." (Dmitry Korzun et al, "Semantic Methods for Data Mining in Smart Spaces", 2019)
"A knowledge base that represents semantic relations between concepts in a network. The model of knowledge representation is based on a directed or undirected graph consisting of vertices, which represent concepts, and edges, which represent semantic relations between concepts, mapping or connecting semantic fields." (Svetlana E Yalovitsyna et al, "Smart Museum: Semantic Approach to Generation and Presenting Information of Museum Collections", 2020)
