    Allegory → Symbol

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    An allegory builds a representation that invites interpretation in terms of more abstract relations. A single symbol can convey meaning through convention. Symbols can help build an allegory when they form part of a sustained pattern.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Iconic interpretation depends on resemblance. Symbolic interpretation can rely on an association learned through use. Both can contribute to the same sign.

    Index → Symbol

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    An index is interpreted through a real connection. A symbol can be interpreted through a learned association. In both cases interpretation matters, and the basis of the relation differs.

    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A convention is an established social rule or association. A symbol can draw its meaning from such a convention. The shared practice explains how a particular sign can be understood.
