The term 'semantic network' was coined at the Cambridge Language
Research Unit (CLRU) a half century ago for "Graph-based Methods
for Natural Language Processing".  See, for example,

    http://www.jfsowa.com/pubs/semnet.htm

Why would anybody coin a new term?

There is a tradition in AI and NLP to change terminology every
10 or 20 years so that all the old R & D can be ignored.  That
practice establishes a new COTD (Change of Terminology Date),
which makes it easier to publish and patent "new" ideas.
