> representation 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 provides some 
> kind of 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 lexical 
> entries containing information about how ontology elements (classes, 
> properties, individuals etc.) are realized in multiple languages. A

> This section should describe the use case in more detail, specifying 
> what the lexicon-ontology interface would need to look like from the 
> point of view of the application and how the lexicon-ontology 
> interface is exploited in the context of the given application. If 
> available, the ontology for the application should be briefly described.

> III. Limitations of existing models

> This section should discuss existing models and their limitations with

> IV. Example

> This section should provide a concrete example illustrating what kind

> the point of view of the application and how it would be exploited by 
> the application.

> V. Requirements
>
> This section is optional and might already advance concrete 
> requirements on the lexicon-ontology model.
