Procedures associated with each type of semanticframe allow inferences to be made to fill "slots" in the semanticframe whose values are unspecified; for example, the phrase "at one end" implicitly references an unspecified physical object, whose identity must be inferred to complete the meaning of the semanticframe.
At the time when the semantic routine for a verb is executed, the case arguments of the verb will typically be represented as semanticframes (as opposed to syntactic phrases); this representation greatly simplifies the processing of verbs.
The canonical objectframe to be used for an object depends on the object's context; thus, a person might be modeled as a pivot when carrying a plank, or as a point mass when sitting on a plank.
A frame or framework is a structural skeleton, which supports the other components of the object.
in spinning, a frame is a mechanical device with many spindles for spinning multiple threads simultaneously, as in spinning frame, dressing frame, or water frame
in mathematics, a frame is an abstract concept on a manifold, generalising frame of reference to a basis for the tangent bundle varying from point to point.
