A semantic network or net is a graph structure for representing knowledge in patterns of interconnected nodes and arcs. Computer implementations of semantic networks were first developed for artificial intelligence and machine translation, but earlier versions have long been used in philosophy, psychology, and linguistics. The Giant Global Graph of the Semantic Web is a large semantic network (Berners-Lee et al. 2001; Hendler & van Harmelen 2008).

Every so often, you see code that someone else has written—or code that you wrote—and smack your head in wonder, disbelief, and dismay.
My previous article, “Ten Java coding antipatterns to avoid: Worst practices #10 through #6,” explores five of those antipatterns. I’ll conclude the discussion here with the final five worst practices, plus a bonus.
I’ll reiterate what I wrote in the previous article’s introduction: You should avoid these worst practices—and eliminate them when you maintain or refactor existing code. And, of course, resolve them if you see these issues during a code review.
