Constructing an Ontology of Coherence Relations: An example of 'causal relation'
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of this paper is to present the methodology of constructing a language ontology of ‘coherent relations’. We construct an ontology of more abstract concepts by combining an upper-level ontology and a middle-level ontology. At the former we use theoretical considerations following Sanders et al. (1992, 1993), and at the latter we use lexical items through the substitutability test of Knott and Dale (1994).

متن کاملThai Text Coherence Structuring with Coordinating and Subordinating Relations for Text Summarization
Text summarization with the consideration of coherence can be achieved by using discourse processing with the Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST). Additional problems on relational ambiguity may arise, especially in Thai. For example, the use of cue words, i.e. “tae/แต่” (meaning “but”), can be identified as a contrast relation or an elaboration relation. Therefore, we propose the reduction of the...
