What's the difference between network and topology?

Network


Definition:

  • (n.) A fabric of threads, cords, or wires crossing each other at certain intervals, and knotted or secured at the crossings, thus leaving spaces or meshes between them.
  • (n.) Any system of lines or channels interlacing or crossing like the fabric of a net; as, a network of veins; a network of railroads.

Topology


Definition:

  • (n.) The art of, or method for, assisting the memory by associating the thing or subject to be remembered with some place.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The scheme is based on topological information, i.e.
  • (2) These results provide knowledge of the interrelationships between antibiotic and substrate ribosome binding sites which should eventually contribute to a map of ribosomal topology.
