[comp.ai] representation languages: richness and flexibility

Hmm. I just attended a lecture in which frame based representation
schemes were touted on the basis of the fact that representation
languages should be rich and flexible.

Well, it sounds good, it even sounds simple, but I'm sure not sure what
it means! In the context of representation languages, what is
'rich', and what is 'flexible'?
