Examples in SUMO
To get an idea of to what specific examples what semantic relations apply, you can have a look at SUMO Ontology.

The semantic relations are named there as follows: --Dan Polansky 16:03, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

 * part - meronymy and holonymy
 * instance - ?

 * Keep. I usually call these "sense relations", but "semantic relations" seems to be a synonym. But, neither term refers to any relationship that is semantic in nature, for exmaple break and broken are semantically related, but their relationship is not one of the "sense relations" which are a restricted set (the -nymys). That's how the term is used in linguistics, anyhow.- Sonofcawdrey (talk) 08:54, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per Sonofcawdrey. Let me add that the Hyponyms section (inaccurately so called) further reinforces the meaning of the term to the reader, and thereby fills a dictionary function. --Dan Polansky (talk) 12:56, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
