本文讨论了如何将语义信息升级为知识的问题。导言部分解释了技术术语和相关背景。第2节认为，语义信息升级为知识，这是必要的和足够的嵌入在网络的问题和答案，正确地占它。第3节表明，一个信息流网络的类型A满足这样一个要求，通过证明，色情赤字，表征目标语义信息t默认，由信息源S提供的正确答案的信息流正确地满足。第4节说明了这种账户网络理论（NTA）的一些主要优点，并澄清了一些潜在的困难。第五节阐明了为什么NTA和知识的信息分析，根据知识被认为是语义信息，不受Gettier类型的反例。最后一节简要总结了所取得的成果。
The article addresses the problem of how semantic information can be upgraded to knowledge. The introductory section explains the technical terminology and the relevant background. Section 2 argues that, for semantic information to be upgraded to knowledge, it is necessary and sufficient to be embedded in a network of questions and answers that correctly accounts for it. Section 3 shows that an information flow network of type A fulfils such a requirement, by warranting that the erotetic deficit, characterising the target semantic information t by default, is correctly satisfied by the information flow of correct answers provided by an informational source s. Section 4 illustrates some of the major advantages of such a Network Theory of Account (NTA) and clears the ground of a few potential difficulties. Section 5 clarifies why NTA and an informational analysis of knowledge, according to which knowledge is accounted semantic information, is not subject to Gettier-type counterexamples. A concluding section briefly summarises the results obtained.
