Naive semantics is an approach to meaning representation that aims to capture commonsense or surface-level semantic relationships without requiring a fully formal theory of meaning. It is used in some language and knowledge systems to support practical interpretation of terms and concepts.
An approach used in computer science for representing basic knowledge about a specific domain, and has been used in applications such as the representation of the meaning of natural language sentences in artificial intelligence applications. In a general setting the term has been used to refer to the use of a limited store of generally understood knowledge about a specific domain in the world, and has been applied to fields such as the knowledge based design of data schemas.
