A long read but well worth it...

A short read but immediately applicable...

Introduction to Algorithmic Information Theory, Nick Szabo;

My thanks to Jan Vegt for reminding me about kolmogorov complexity measures.
These 
are more useful than Shannon's random source measures for our purposes.

How many hops you have to make to travel from one node to another, assuming
you actually have a path between them. In this case you're linking two term
definitions across across which imply term equivalence. My concern was that
if two definitions are far apart, the equivalence is weakened (Thanks to Len
for "semantic drift" and recalling a large chunk of my memory, I forgot that
one *completely*: <http://www.google.com/search?q=semantic+distance>).
