The process of developing a way to describe spatial relations (SR) in the semantic SL language for the knowledge translation problem is described. To do this, a system of notions is introduced—a reference body and reference system (RS) as opposed to the notion of an orientation point used in analyzing the spatial relations of natural languages. The term “orientation” used to characterize types of motion is replaced by the more exact term “dynamics.” On the whole, the two-parametric scheme proposed by other authors is preserved for describing spatial relations. The notions of dynamics and topological zone are used as parameters. Values of parameters and a designation system are developed on the basis of SL principles. To conclude the work, examples of writing spatial relations using the mentioned parameters are given.
