A Multilingual Lexico-Semantic Database and Ontology
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the development of a multilingual lexicon linked to a formal ontology. First we describe the Open Multilingual Wordnet, a multilingual wordnet with twenty two languages and a rich structure of semantic relations. It is made by exploiting links from various monolingual wordnets to the English Wordnet. Currently, it contains 118,337 concepts expressed in 1,643,260 senses in 22 languages. It is available as simple tab separated files, wordnet-LMF or lemon and had been used by many projects including Babelnet and Google translate. We then discuss some issues in extending the wordnets and improving the multilingual representation to cover concepts not lexicalized in English. Finally, we give a brief description of a linked ontology SUMO, that can be used to reason across languages. This effort builds on the many wordnet projects and SUMO to create a rich web of linguistic data and axiomatically specified world knowledge.

Development of a Combined System Based on Data Mining and Semantic Web for the Diagnosis of Autism
Introduction: Autism is a nervous system disorder, and since there is no direct diagnosis for it, data mining can help diagnose the disease. Ontology as a backbone of the semantic web, a knowledge database with shareability and reusability, can be a confirmation of the correctness of disease diagnosis systems. This study aimed to provide a system for diagnosing autistic children with a combinat...

متن کاملA lexico-semantic pattern language for learning ontology instances from text
The Semantic Web aims to extend the World Wide Web with a layer of semantic information, so that it is understandable not only by humans, but also by computers. At its core, the Semantic Web consists of ontologies that describe the meaning of concepts in a certain domain or across domains. The domain ontologies are mostly created and maintained by domain experts using manual, time-intensive pro...
متن کاملMultilingual Question Answering With High Portability On Relational Databases
This paper describes a highly-portable multilingual question answering system on multiple relational databases. We apply semantic category and pattern-based grammars, into natural language interfaces to relational databases. Lexico-semantic pattern (LSP) and multi-level grammars achieve portability of languages, domains, and DBMSs. The LSP-based linguistic processing does not require deep analy...
متن کاملSemantic Atomicity and Multilinguality in the Medical Domain: Design Considerations for the MorphoSaurus Subword Lexicon
We present the lexico-semantic foundations underlying a multilingual lexicon the entries of which are constituted by so-called subwords. These subwords reflect semantic atomicity constraints in the medical domain which diverge from canonical lexicological understanding in NLP. We focus here on criteria to identify and delimit reasonable subword units, to group them into functionally adequate sy...
