|
||
children. Used as a standard example in knowledge representation to show
|
||
the difference between extensional and intensional objects. For example,
|
||
every occurrence of “<span class="quote">Fred Bloggs</span>” is the same unique person,
|
||
whereas occurrences of “<span class="quote">person</span>” may refer to different people.
|
||
Members of the Bloggs family have been known to pop up in bizarre places
|
||
such as the old <a href="../D/DEC.html"><i class="glossterm">DEC</i></a> Telephone Directory. Compare
