Knowledge structure

In Semantic Research parlance, a knowledge structure is an interrelated collection of facts or knowledge about a particular topic. It is composed of concepts linked to other concepts by labeled relationships. A concept may be related to any number of other concepts via any number of relationships. In this manner a knowledge structure takes the form of a simplified semantic network. Unstructured documents, such as word processing documents or JPG images, may be attached to this structure, just as a file may be attached to an email message; these become special nodes in the network known as knowledge objects.

Knowledge structures may be stored in a file known as a Semantica Archive (or SAR) for single-user access, or they may be stored in a database repository for concurrent multi-user access.

Products

Semantic Research offers a variety of software packages for the Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X platforms:
* Semantica Standard Edition (SE): Desktop program for creating, editing and viewing knowledge structures in SAR files
* Semantica Reader: Desktop program for viewing SAR files created in SE
* Semantica Education: An education-centric variant of SE, including tools for testing learning comprehension of the knowledge structure
* Semantica Enterprise Server: Server program providing persistence, transactionality, and multi-user concurrency services to knowledge structures
* Semantica Pro: Desktop program for creating, editing and viewing knowledge structures provided by Semantica Enterprise Server

In addition to providing prepackaged software, Semantic also develops custom software for government customers on a per project basis.
