Abstract
We investigate how possibilistic valuations can be introduced in the semantic net formalism. The model proposed here deals with multiple inheritance, exceptions and non-monotonicity by making use of necessity measures attached to the individual links in the net. We also define extensions for this formalism and compare them to other models in the literature.
