An example of a semantic network. Characteristics and behaviors of a semantic agent (SA) are defined by its relationships (RE) with other agents. Semantic agents are represented as circles, and relationships are depicted as arrows. This SN-model represents that a protein A can be located at a nucleus, can interact with a protein B or catalyze a chemical reaction. For explanatory purpose, this figure illustrates an example of a semantic network. The implemented semantic network (as presented in the paper) is more complex and involves different types of relationships and agents.
