Even though there are multiple semantic network representations available, the representation that has some of the most flexibility is Conceptual Structures, CS. CS is a logic based representation of C.S. Peirce's existential graphs developed by John Sowa. In his 1984 book titled: "Conceptual Structures: Information Processing in Mind and Machine", John gives a broad range of theoretical and applied studies in linguistics, logic, philosophy, and artificial intelligence. The two most important influences on this book were the philosophers Charles Sanders Peirce and Alfred North Whitehead, who were pioneers in symbolic logic. The book stimulated an interdisciplinary community of students and researchers to organize a series of informal workshops, which in 1993 were upgraded to the annual International Conferences on Conceptual Structures (ICCS).
