Knowledge representation… not the best example 🙂
I’ve been looking at the OpenCyc Foundation’s Concept Browser page. I searched for the concept “product”. It took me to a helpful page that says: Each instance of sales product is a thing that exists in time that is, or was at one time, offered for sale or performed as a commercial service, or was…
