In this paper, I describe derivation and practical application of an ontology of word classes manually derived from four different sources: – the EAGLES recommendations for the morphosyntactic annotation of corpora, – several language-specific, or task-specific tag sets for part-of-speech tagging, – the typologically-oriented SFB632 guidelines for part-of-speech tagging, and – the General Ontol...

The study of complex biological questions through comparative proteomics is becoming increasingly attractive to plant biologists as the rapidly expanding plant genomic and expressed sequence tag databases provide improved opportunities for protein identification. This review focuses on practical issues associated with comparative proteomic analysis, including the challenges of effective protein...

This paper reports on a next step in a line o f research taking the perspective that modelling as an activity is a ‘constrained conversation’. We focus on concrete communication situations in context o f (enterprise) modelling sessions, with special attention to the involvement o f ‘novice modellers’. We present some theoretical notions that are helpful in understanding why modelling performed ...
