Notes in the following Semantic net:
Figure 9.4: A Semantic Network for a Default Reasoning

In creating certain inferences we will also necessitate to differentiate between the link that defines a
new entity and holds its value and the other type of link that associates two current entities. Consider the
example displayed where the height of two people is portrayed and we also desire to contrast
them.
We require extra nodes for the notion in addition to its value.

Figure 9.5: Two Heights

Special procedures are required to process these nodes, but without this dissimilarity the analysis
would be very restricted.

9.1.3 Extending Semantic Nets

Here we will take into account some extensions to Semantic nets that conquer some problems or
enlarge their appearance of knowledge.
