Bill Woods explored the issue in his classic paper, What's in a Link: "What's in a Link: Foundations for Semantic Networks". In D. Bobrow and A. Collins (eds.), Representation and Understanding: Studies in Cognitive Science, New York: Academic Press, 1975. Reprinted in R. Brachman and H. Levesque (eds.), Readings in Knowledge Representation, San Mateo: Morgan Kaufmann, 1985. Also reprinted in Allan Collins and Edward E. Smith (eds.), Readings in Cognitive Science, San Mateo: Morgan Kaufmann, 1988. The research group he led at BBN subsequently went on to develop KLONE in the late 1970s, which was, of course, a progenitor to OWL and today's description logic systems. Tim
