A Mapping of CIDOC CRM Events to German Wordnet for Event Detection in Texts.
Martin Scholz · 2013
Abstract. The detection of event mentions in free text is a key to a deeper automatic understanding of the text’s contents. In this paper we present ongoing work on mechanisms to detect events in German texts in the domain of cultural heritage documentation. A central role plays a hand-crafted mapping of CIDOC CRM 1 events to GermaNet synsets to ease the process of creating a lexicon for automatic event detection. We discuss two approaches and insights gained from the mapping process and correct modelling of event mentions. 1
