In order to represent SenticNet in a machine-accessible and processable way, information about each concept is encoded as a set of RDF triples using an XML syntax.
concepts are identified using the Con-ceptNet Web API and statements, which have the form "concept-hasPolarity-polarityValue", are encoded in the RDF/XML format on the basis of the human emotion ontology (HEO) (Grassi, 2009), a high-level ontology of human emotions, which supplies the most significant concepts and properties which constitute the centerpiece for the description of every human emotion.
