Re: Question about 'ontologizing' a survey?

Dear Dan,

Please be aware that I did not look into the questionnaire.

I am not sure you want markup (e.g., rich description of the questionnaire)
or semantic annotations (named entity recognition of some chunks of text)
or some semantic association (assigning tags/annotations to a question). If
(i), then please have a look at tutorials on how to add Bioschemas markup,
there is though no profile for questionnaires but you could find some
inspiration, questionnaire markup could be of interest for others. If (ii),
have a look at named entity recognition approaches, which vocabulary to use
depends on what you want to recognize and possibly on what you want to do
later with those annotations. If (iii) again, you would need to find a
named entity recognition and tagging approach on whole sentences. If you
want to express the annotations with Bioschemas for (ii) or (iii), you
could use the SemanticTextAnnotation profile (
https://bioschemas.org/profiles/SemanticTextAnnotation).

Kind regards,
