ACTUAL PROBLEMS OF TERMINOLOGICAL LEXICOGRAPHY

Solving Terminological Inconsistency Problems in Ontology Design

Information models and ontologies, although originally developed for different applications and most often used in different disciplines, share several common features. It is natural to assume that techniques applicable for knowledge representation tasks based on ontologies, can be used for information models as well.
