Ontology-based Reasoning about Lexical Resources
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reasoning about natural language most prominently requires combining semantically rich lexical resources with world knowledge, provided by ontologies. Therefore, we are building bindings from FrameNet – a lexical resource for English – to various ontologies depending on the application at hand. In this paper we show the first step toward such bindings: We translate FrameNet to the Web Ontology Language OWL DL. That way, FrameNet and its annotations become available to Description Logic reasoners and other OWL tools. In addition, FrameNet annotations can provide a high-quality lexicalization of the linked ontologies.

Reasoning about natural language requires combining semantically rich lexical resources with world knowledge, provided by ontologies. In this paper, we describe linking of WordNets of Indian languages with an upper ontology SUMO (Suggested Upper Merged Ontology). This creates multilingual resource for Indian languages which can be used in various natural language processing applications. This p...
متن کاملContext-driven Disambiguation in Ontology Elicitation
Ontologies represent rich semantics in a lexical way. Lexical labels are used to identify concepts and relationships, though there is no bijective mapping between them. Phenomenons such as synonyms and homonyms exemplify this, and can result in frustrating misunderstanding and ambiguity. In the elicitation and application of ontologies, the meaning of the ontological knowledge is dependent on t...
متن کاملLexical inference as a spatial reasoning problem
Humans are often able to draw plausible conclusions from incomplete information based on background knowledge about the world. As a substantial part of this background knowledge is of a lexical nature, a crucial challenge in automating plausible reasoning consists in learning how different words are semantically related. This paper argues that most of the lexical relations that we need for plau...
متن کاملLinking FrameNet to the Suggested Upper Merged Ontology
Deductive reasoning with natural language requires combining lexical resources with the world knowledge provided by ontologies. In this paper we describe the connection of FrameNet – a lexicon for English – to the Suggested Upper Merged Ontology (SUMO). We align FrameNet Semantic Types (ST) with SUMO classes, which we express in SUO-KIF, the language of SUMO. Based on this general-domain alignm...
