D. Selection of concepts and information about their relationships with other concepts (e.g. synonyms, hierarchy, associations, antonyms, etc.).
E. A list of place names. Entries may be identified by type (e.g. river, city, etc.).
F. Ordered structure that separate entities into broad topic levels. Sometimes providing a hierarchical arrangement of numeric or alphabetic notation. Items are usually grouped according to assumed "natural" relationships.
G. A list of terms used to control variations in names (e.g. authors, organizations, countries, etc.).
H. A set of controlled terms, usually with a very shallow hierarchy. They can usually be joined to create more specific concepts.
I. A specific concept model to represent complex relationships among objects that include the rules and axioms missing from semantic networks. It is a description of the concepts and relationships that can exist for an agent or a community of agents.
