Modelling Multilinguality in Ontologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multilinguality in ontologies has become an impending need for institutions worldwide with valuable linguistic resources in different natural languages. Since most ontologies are developed in one language, obtaining multilingual ontologies implies to localize or adapt them to a concrete language and culture community. As the adaptation of the ontology conceptualization demands considerable efforts, we propose to modify the ontology terminological layer, and provide a model called Linguistic Information Repository (LIR) that associated to the ontology meta-model allows terminological layer localization.

متن کاملMultilingualidad en una aplicación basada en el conocimiento
The incipient need to provide knowledge based systems with multilingual information has given rise to a new challenge in Artificial Intelligence. Current strategies used to represent multilinguality in knowledge bases have relied on ad hoc solutions. Starting from the premise that there are no theoretical approaches to representing multilinguality and their implications, we aim at filling this ...

The need for interoperability among geospatial resources in different natural languages evidences the difficulties to cope with domain representations highly dependent of the culture in which they have been conceived. In this paper we characterize the problem of representing cultural discrepancies in ontologies. We argue that such differences can be accounted for at the ontology terminological ...

متن کاملLMM: an OWL-DL MetaModel to Represent Heterogeneous Lexical Knowledge
In this paper we present a Linguistic Meta-Model (LMM) allowing a semiotic-cognitive representation of knowledge. LMM is freely available and integrates the schemata of linguistic knowledge resources, such as WordNet and FrameNet, as well as foundational ontologies, such as DOLCE and its extensions. In addition, LMM is able to deal with multilinguality and to represent individuals and facts in ...
