Re: terminology decomposition and interpretation use case -- Re: Reminder: Telco this Friday, 3-4 pm (CET)

Hi John and all, the objective of the ontolex standardization effort is 
not on patterns but on 'the representation of lexical information for 
textual identifiers of ontology concepts' where 'textual identifiers' in 
most technical ontologies mostly come in the form of multi-word or 
otherwise morphologically complex terms. Such lexical information (for 
ontology-based terminology) may be used by patterns, rules, classifiers 
or other methods which themselves are not the objective of the ontolex 
standardization effort. But they are however an important part of the 
use case definition for any ontolex standardization effort.

We will work out the use case more and report next week
