Single-scope network
A type of integration network. In the single scope network both input spaces contain a frame but each is distinct. Furthermore, only one of the input frames structures the blend. Consider the following example: Microsoft has finally delivered the knock-out punch to its rival Netscape. This sentence prompts for an integration network in which there are two input spaces. In one input there are two business rivals, Microsoft and Netscape, and Microsoft takes Netscape's market share. In the other input there are two boxers, and the first boxer knocks out the second.
In the blend, Microsoft and Netscape are boxers, and Microsoft knocks out Netscape. What distinguishes this type of network is that only one frame (here the boxing frame rather than business frame) serves to structure the blend. However, the elements from both inputs are projected: roles for boxers and values Microsoft and Netscape.
