| − | ;[[Node]]
| + | |
| − | :A node is the most elementary unit in the graph. It is the result of the [[tokenization]] process, and corresponds to the notion of "lexical item". At the surface level, a natural language sentence is considered a list of nodes, and a UNL graph a set of relations between nodes.
| + | |
| − | ;[[Relation]]
| + | |
| − | :In order to form a natural language sentence or a UNL graph, nodes are inter-related by relations. In the UNL framework, there can be three different types of relations: linear, syntactic or semantic.
| + | |
| − | ;[[Hyper-Node]]
| + | |
| − | :A hyper-node is a sub-graph, i.e., a node containing relations between nodes.
| + | |
| − | ;[[Hyper-Relation]]
| + | |
| − | :A hyper-relation is a relation between relations.
