A long read but well worth it... "Hermeneutics: From Textual Explication to Computer Understanding? "; John C. Mallery, Roger Hurwitz, Gavan Duffy. http://www.ai.mit.edu/people/jcma/papers/1986-ai-memo-871/memo.html A short read but immediately applicable... Introduction to Algorithmic Information Theory, Nick Szabo; http://www.best.com/~szabo/kolmogorov.html My thanks to Jan Vegt for reminding me about kolmogorov complexity measures. These are more useful than Shannon's random source measures for our purposes. Len http://www.mp3.com/LenBullard Ekam sat.h, Vipraah bahudhaa vadanti. Daamyata. Datta. Dayadhvam.h -----Original Message----- From: Bill dehOra [mailto:BdehOra@i...] How many hops you have to make to travel from one node to another, assuming you actually have a path between them. In this case you're linking two term definitions across across which imply term equivalence. My concern was that if two definitions are far apart, the equivalence is weakened (Thanks to Len for "semantic drift" and recalling a large chunk of my memory, I forgot that one *completely*: <http://www.google.com/search?q=semantic+distance>).
