15. A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having control logic stored therein for causing a computer to produce a concept semantic network (CSN) from an ontology, the computer control logic comprising:
-
first computer readable program code means for causing the computer to converting each class, subclass, object, restriction, and property of the ontology to a concept of the CSN; and
second computer readable program code means for causing the computer to convert each hierarchy in the ontology to a concept hierarchy of the CSN. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
