Edges

These are the underlying edges used to implement the ConceptNet 5 hypergraph. They are meant to be a small, closed class; you use them to express Assertions involving the interesting open class of Relations.

• relation -- target is the relation for the assertion source. target could be a concept, an interlingual relation, or a natural language frame.
• arg[position: n] -- target is the n-th argument to the assertion or operator source. position is a property that you can look up on the edge.
• justifies -- If you believe source, you believe target. source and target may be a person, process, or assertion. source may also be a conjunction of multiple of these.
• conjunct -- source is a member of the conjunction target.
• normalized -- target is a simplified way to express source, which should help reduce sparsity.
• sameAs -- maps to rdf:sameAs. These two nodes are different ways to describe the same thing or set of things. Everything that is true of source is true of target, and they're only represented in different nodes for convenience.
