Abstract
This paper discusses Kohonen's self-organizing semantic map (SOSM). We show that augmentation and normalization of numerical feature data as recommended for the SOSM is entirely unnecessary to obtain semantic m aps that exhibit semantic similarities between objects represented by the data, Visual displays of a small data set of 13 animals based on p rincipal components, Sammon's algorithm, and Kohonen's (unsupervised) self-organizing feature map (SOFM) possess exactly the same qualitativ e information as the much more complicated SOSM display does.
