Abstract:The field theory is introduced to the semantic space,and the semantic field model is established to depict the interaction between ontology concepts and the distribution law of semantics.First,this paper formally defines and describes the semantic field from the perspectives of potential,gradient and intensity.The potential represents the semantics of a certain position in the semantic field; the gradient describes local semantics change of the semantic field;the field intensity reflects the strength of semantics association among concepts.Then,a discussion is held on the influence scope of field sources,mass calculation of ontology concepts and the optimal selection of influence factor.Finally,the paper presents the application prospects of semantic field in semanticbased resource clustering,semanticsupporting P2P application system.
