The semigroup D V of digraphs on a set V of n labeled vertices is defined. It is shown that D V is faithfully represented by the semigroup B n of n × n Boolean matrices and that the Green's L, R, H, and D equivalence classifications of digraphs in D V follow directly from the Green's classifications already established for B n . The new results found from this are: (i) L, R, and H equivalent digraphs contain sets of vertices with identical neighborhoods which remain invariant under certain

... ided semigroup multiplications that transform one digraph into another within the same equivalence class, i.e., these digraphs exhibit Green's isoneighborhood symmetries; and (ii) D equivalent digraphs are characterized by isomorphic inclusion lattices that are generated by their out-neighborhoods and which are preserved under certain two-sided semigroup multiplications that transform digraphs within the same D equivalence class, i.e., these digraphs are characterized by Green's isolattice symmetries. As a simple illustrative example, the Green's classification of all digraphs on two vertices is presented and the associated Green's symmetries are identified.
