Frame (artificial Intelligence) - Frame Structure

Frame Structure

The frame contains information on how to use the frame, what to expect next, and what to do when these expectations are not met. Some information in the frame is generally unchanged while other information, stored in "terminals," usually change. Different frames may share the same terminals.

Each piece of information about a particular frame is held in a slot. The information can contain:

  • Facts or Data
    • Values (called facets)
  • Procedures (also called procedural attachments)
    • IF-NEEDED : deferred evaluation
    • IF-ADDED : updates linked information
  • Default Values
    • For Data
    • For Procedures
  • Other Frames or Subframes

Famous quotes containing the words frame and/or structure:

    It would be nice to travel if you knew where you were going and where you would live at the end or do we ever know, do we ever live where we live, we’re always in other places, lost, like sheep.
    —Janet Frame (b. 1924)

    Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.
    Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
