In fact, significant efforts have gone into >> standardization efforts under the auspices of the W3C to produce >> „recommendations“ for data and knowledge representation languages, i.e. the >> Resource Description Framework (RDF) and the Web Ontology Language (OWL). >> However, current web-based knowledge representations languages such as OWL >> and RDF(S) lack the rich linguistic grounding that is required for >> language-mediated access to ontologies. OWL and RDF(S) rely on a property >> rdfs:label to capture the relation between a vocabulary element and its >> (preferred) lexicalization in a given language. This lexicalization in some >> sense provides a lexical anchor that makes the concept, property, individual >> etc. understandable to a user. The mechanisms for linguistic grounding >> available in OWL and RDF(S) are thus far from being able to capture the >> necessary linguistic and lexical information that NLP applications working >> with a particular ontology need. >> >> >> >> The mission of the Ontology-Lexicon community group is to develop a model >> for the linguistic grounding of ontologies which allows to represent to >> lexical entries containing information about how ontology elements (classes, >> properties, individuals etc.) are realized in multiple languages.
