This paper is dedicated to the studies of syntactical synonymy as one kinds periphrasing in dichotomy language/ discourse and theory mental kinetism. It establishedthat process transformation language are formed basic (with terminal chain) two or more chains)synonymic periphrases pivotal (primary) syntagm proposition, that actualized form co(n)textually preferential options. On bases semantic v...

Albert Visser introduced five different categories of interpretations between theories INT0 (the category of synonymy), INT1 (the category of homotopy), INT2 (the category of weak homotopy), INT3 (the category of equivalence), and INT4 (the category of mutual interpretability) [Vis04]. The objects in these categories are first order theories, the morphisms are interpretations up to some level o...

The endemic Australian flower chafer genus Metallesthes Kraatz, 1880 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae) is revised. Metallesthes anneliesae Moeseneder & Hutchinson new species is described from southern Queensland and New South Wales. Metallesthes unicolor (Macleay, 1863) revised status is raised from synonymy with Metallesthes metallescens (White, 1859). Metallesthes metallescens and Metal...

An algorithm was derived to find candidate mappings between any two terminologies inside the UMLS, making use of synonymy, explicit mapping relations and hierarchical relationships among UMLS concepts. Using an existing set of mappings from SNOMED CT to ICD9CM as our gold standard, we managed to find candidate mappings for 86% of SNOMED CT terms, with recall of 42% and precision of 20%. Among t...

The genus Eunatalis Schenkling, 1909 is taxonomically revised to include twenty-two species. The following species are described as new: Eunatalis auricoma, Eunatalis flavopilosa, Eunatalis foveata, Eunatalis ninae, Eunatalis pernodulosa, Eunatalis punctata, Eunatalis schopfi, Eunatalis spadicea and Eunatalis villosa. Eunatalis blackburni (Waterhouse, 1894), n. syn. is placed in synonymy with E...

Three species of Xerolycosa: Xerolycosa nemoralis (Westring, 1861), Xerolycosa miniata (C.L. Koch, 1834) and Xerolycosa mongolica (Schenkel, 1963), occurring in the Palaearctic Region are surveyed, illustrated and redescribed. Arctosa mongolica Schenkel, 1963 is removed from synonymy with Xerolycosa nemoralis and transferred to Xerolycosa, and the new combination Xerolycosa mongolica (Schenkel,...

The paper considers the principles and basic stages of decomposing georeferenced documents oriented to the problems of markup and semantic search. The paper justifies the necessity to develop a multimodal semiotic system and discusses verbal-visual knowledge representation in digital libraries. To represent knowledge, verbal-visual thesaurus is proposed. The thesaurus includes verbal, verbal-vi...

In this paper we explore the relation between derivational morphology and synonymy in connection with an electronic dictionary, inspired by the work of Maurice Gross. The characteristics of this relation are illustrated by derivation in Serbian, which produces new lemmas with predictable meaning. We call this regular derivation. We then demonstrate how this kind of derivation is handled in text...

In this paper we compare verb synonym information contained in four public-available lexical-semantic resources for Portuguese: TeP, PAPEL, Wiktionary and OpenThesaurusPT. We quantify the extent to which verb synonymy information in four resources overlaps, and we quantify how much novelty each resource in comparison to the others. We demonstrate that the four resources vary significantly in re...

The type specimens of five species of Eleodes described by Francis Walker from British Columbia, Canada, were studied in order to establish their true identity. The synonymy of Eleodes convexicollis Walker and E. conjunctus Walker with E. obscurus (Say); that of Eleodes latiusculus Walker with E. humeralis LeConte;  and that of Eleodes binotatus Walker with  Eleodes hispilabris (Say) is confirm...
