From: Kurt Godden <godden%gmr.csnet@CSNET-RELAY.ARPA> Could anyone send to me or post to the net references on conversion of knowledge from one representational structure to another? For example, translating between frames and semantic nets would be of interest. If not directly related to explicit translation, articles discussing >formal< (non-)equivalence between/among various representations of knowledge is also of interest. If there are no postings directly to the net, I will summarize and post anything of general interest I may receive. -Kurt Godden godden.gmr@csnet-relay (or, if that doesn't work: godden%gmr@csnet-relay)

For example, translating between frames and semantic nets would be of interest. Well, here's a couple of obvious ones that you probably already know about: * Brachman, R.J. On the Epistemological Status of Semantic Networks. * Etherington, D.W. and R. Reiter. On Inheritance Hierarchies with Exceptions. * Hayes, P.J. The Logic of Frames. These can be found in Brachman & Levesque's `Readings in Knowledge Representation', Morgan Kaufman 1985. Actually as I look through the TOC, I realize that you probably should just get the book if you don't have it. Lots of good stuff. Has an extensive partially annotated bibliography too.
