Tutorial: Creating a Semantic Network from a Quote by Michel de Montaigne
Hellixia Demo
This demonstration of Hellixia illustrates how to generate a semantic network from a well-known quote by Michel de Montaigne, a prominent French Renaissance philosopher, writer, and essayist:
Le plus sage homme qui fut onques, quand on lui demanda ce qu’il savait, répondit qu’il savait qu’il ne savait rien.> Il vérifiait ce qu’on dit, que la plus grande part de ce que nous savons est la moindre de celles que nous ignorons : c’est-à-dire que cela même que nous pensons savoir, c’est une partie, et bien petite, de notre ignorance.
The wisest man who ever lived, when asked what he knew, replied that he knew that he knew nothing.> He confirmed what is said, that the greatest part of what we know is the least of what we do not know: that is to say, even what we think we know is a small part of our ignorance.
