Ontology and the Lexicon
نویسنده
چکیده
A lexicon is a linguistic object and hence is not the same thing as an ontology, which is non-linguistic. Nonetheless, word senses are in many ways similar to ontological concepts and the relationships found between word senses resemble the relationships found between concepts. Although the arbitrary and semi-arbitrary distinctions made by natural languages limit the degree to which these similarities can be exploited, a lexicon can nonetheless serve in the development of an ontology, especially in a technical domain.

Experiences with a Multilingual Ontology-Based Lexicon for News Filtering
Ontologies as part of a lexicon are important for many NLP tasks. In this paper, we draw on experiences gained in an ESPRIT project called TREVI, which concerns news filtering and enrichment and includes a English/Spanish multilingual Lexicon. We sketch the way the Lexicon, including an ontology, is constructed, and present the methodology used for adding domain ontologies. In general, the appr...
متن کاملSIMPLE-OWL: a Generative Lexicon Ontology for NLP and the Semantic Web
This research deals with the modelling of a Generative Lexicon based ontology to be used in the Semantic Web and Natural Language Processing semantic tasks. This ontology is imported from a existing computational Lexical Resource and is converted to the W3C standard Web Ontology Language. This presents some challenges, as for example the multidimensionality of the original ontology, which are c...
متن کاملConstructing of an Ontology-based Lexicon for Bulgarian
In this paper we report on the progress in the creation of an Ontology-based lexicon for Bulgarian. We have started with the concept set from an upper ontology (DOLCE). Then it was extended with concepts selected from the OntoWordNet, which correspond to Core WordNet and EuroWordNet Basic concepts. The underlying idea behind the ontology-based lexicon is its organization via two semantic relati...
متن کاملCrowdsourcing Ontology Lexicons
In order to make the growing amount of conceptual knowledge available through ontologies and datasets accessible to humans, NLP applications need access to information on how this knowledge can be verbalized in natural language. One way to provide this kind of information are ontology lexicons, which apart from the actual verbalizations in a given target language can provide further, rich lingu...
متن کاملOntologizing Lexicon Access Functions based on an LMF-based Lexicon Taxonomy
This paper discusses ontologization of lexicon access functions in the context of a service-oriented language infrastructure, such as the Language Grid. In such a language infrastructure, an access function to a lexical resource, embodied as an atomic Web service, plays a crucially important role in composing a composite Web service tailored to a user’s specific requirement. To facilitate the c...
