Towards standardized lexical semantic corpus annotation: Components of the Semantic Annotation Framework, SemAF

On the principles of interoperable semantic annotation

This paper summarizes the research that is leading to ISO standard 24617-6, which describes the approach to semantic annotation that characterizes the ISO semantic annotation framework (SemAF). It investigates the consequences and the risks of the SemAF strategy of developing separate annotation schemes for certain classes of semantic phenomena, with the long-term aim to combine these schemes i...

Semantic-Based Image Retrial in the VQ Compressed Domain using Image Annotation Statistical Models

The Annotation of Measure Expressions in ISO Standards

In annotating measure expressions such as three days and about 123 km, two recently published ISO standards, ISO-TimeML (ISO, 2012b) and ISOspace (ISO, 2014a), show some inconsistencies, as pointed out in ISO SemAF Principles (ISO, 2014c), a third ISO standards on semantic annotation to be published soon. Other than terminological or semantic inconsistencies introduced in ISO SemAF Principles, ...

Towards a Resource for Lexical Semantics: A Large German Corpus with Extensive Semantic Annotation

We describe the ongoing construction of a large, semantically annotated corpus resource as reliable basis for the largescale acquisition of word-semantic information, e.g. the construction of domainindependent lexica. The backbone of the annotation are semantic roles in the frame semantics paradigm. We report experiences and evaluate the annotated data from the first project stage. On this basi...

Lexical Coverage Evaluation of Large-scale Multilingual Semantic Lexicons for Twelve Languages

The last two decades have seen the development of various semantic lexical resources such as WordNet (Miller, 1995) and the USAS semantic lexicon (Rayson et al., 2004), which have played an important role in the areas of natural language processing and corpus-based studies. Recently, increasing efforts have been devoted to extending the semantic frameworks of existing lexical knowledge resource...
