Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Interfacing Ontologies and Lexical Resources
Alessandro Oltramari, Laurent Prévot, Stefano Borgo · 2005
During the last few years, a number of works aiming at interfacing ontologies and lexical resources have been initiated. This paper aims at clarifying the current picture of this domain. It compares ontologies built following different methodologies and analyses their combination with lexical resources. A point defended in the paper is that different methodologies lead to very different characteristics for the resulting systems. We classify these methodologies and show how actual projects fit into this classification. We also take a more applicative viewpoint by presenting a PROTÉGÉ-based platform that can be exploited in the general task of interfacing ontologies and lexical resources along the different methodological lines.
