This article describes an example of the difficulties involved in the construction of a term-based satellite (or domain-specific) ontology integrated in FunGramKB -a lexico-conceptual knowledge base for the computational processing of natural language (Periñán-Pascual &
ste artículo describe las bases metodológicas para la construcción de subontologías terminológicas en la base de conocimiento FunGramKB y se parte de la hipótesis de que el modelo multinivel de la Ontología nuclear (nivel metaconceptual, nivel básico y nivel terminal) puede conectarse a una subontología con el fin de minimizar la redundancia informativa y maximizar el conocimiento. en el marco de FunGramKB, las subontologías se caracterizan, en primer lugar, por contener conceptos pertenecientes a dominios de conocimiento especializado y, en segundo lugar, por orientar esos conceptos a la semántica profunda –a diferencia del enfoque de la gran mayoría de las ontologías terminológicas, que suelen orientarse a la semántica superficial. el desarrollo de las subontologías permitirá la aplicación futura de FunGramKB a tareas de procesamiento de lenguaje especializado y razonamiento experto.
The three-level hierarchy of values in Faber and Mairal's work (Constructing a Lexicon of English Verbs, Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter, 1999) is based on the scales of values given by Max Scheler or Józef Tischner, which are deeply rooted in the theory of the Great Chain of Being (employed by Aristotle in his scala naturae). Faber and Mairal also provide an account of the relationship between lexical structure and cognition. A key issue was the introduction of a cognitive axis and a typology of predicate schemas in the lexicon (at lexeme, sub-domain and domain level). Among the four domain-level semantic patterns proposed, axiology is considered to appear in many domains. However, in this article it is claimed that the axiological parameter needs further clarification and decomposition. Its structure is multidimensional, internally hierarchical and canonical. In consequence, the three-level hierarchy of values in the lexicon of English verbs is reformulated and the axiological parameter is divided into multilevel categories crossed by two layers of canonical axes. It is also claimed that the axiological formula incorporating this might improve the understanding of this parameter within the lexical architecture of the verbal lexicon.
In this article we intend to offer the results of comparing and matching basic and terminal concepts (and their corresponding lexical units) in FunGramKB with Words (and their corresponding synonyms) in the ASD-STE dictionary and determine whether the way in which this controlled language has been designed draws similarities with the way in which the conceptual information of that knowledge base is built. To provide evidence based on authentic material, we have selected the list of 190 approved verbs in the ASD-STE dictionary: a collection of units complying with the ASD-STE lexical and syntactic restrictions. These verbs are used as a representative sample to be compared with 547 verbal concepts stored in the FunGramKB #EVENT subontology (as basic or terminal concepts). The level of compatibility between both repositories offers four possibilities of conceptual and/or lexical matching at varying degrees: i) direct matching, ii) indirect matching, iii) no matching, or iv) missing. The quantitative results of this analysis may prove that a significant percentage of verbal Words in the ASD-STE dictionary (more than 50%) are directly or indirectly represented in FunGramKB, either as concepts or as lexical units associated with other concepts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
