Hi, >>See [1] for the currently completed draft. There are no plans for SKOS >>versions, although I did include some ideas about that. You have to make >>a choice if you want to see Synsets or WordSenses as skos:Concepts. > > > Or both? Possibly. Either choice has pros and cons. If you want both: wn:Synset -> skos:Concept [all its lexical forms] -> skos:altLabel wn:WordSense -> skos:Concept [wordform attached to the Sense's Word] -> skos:prefLabel wn:hyponymOf -> skos:broader wn:[other props between synsets]-> skos:related left over: props between WordSenses, and a missing link between Synsets and WordSenses. All Synset-concepts are "orphans" (not related to the WordSense-concepts with a skos relation, while the Wordsense-concepts carry the hierarchical info). This results in a bit strange thesaurus but doesn't loose that much info. But it's maybe a better idea to drop the WordSenses altogether. Synsets form the real idea of a "concept" in WordNet. But then you have to drop the relations between wordsenses, and you have to group all hyponym relations of a synset's wordsenses into the new skos concept (and then turn them into skos:broader)? Then you really start reinterpreting the original source... Mark. -- Mark F.J. van Assem - Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam markREMOVE@cs.vu.nl - http://www.cs.vu.nl/~mark
