SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ESTABLISHING SEMANTIC EQUIVALENCE BETWEEN CONCEPTS

摘要

A method for establishing semantic equivalence between a plurality of concepts. The method includes the steps of: providing Orthogonal Semantic Equivalence Map in which first, second, and third extensional concept models are related to one another such that the second concept model is orthogonal to the first concept model and the third extensional concept model is distinct from the first and second concept models, wherein each concept from the first concept model has an intensional relation to one concept from the second concept model over one concept in the third concept model as a (relation, concept) pair, wherein each concept represented in the first concept model is selectable or de-selectable, and wherein each intensional relation between concepts in the first and second concept model is selectable or de-selectable;
