Remainder, telco on Friday

Dear all,

  this is a short remainder that we will have our biweekly ontolex telco 
this Friday at 15:00 CET.

I would like to reach a final discussion of the following three 
requirements on Friday:

1) Specification of Requirements / Lexicon-Ontology-Mapping

I propose to break this down to 5  (A-E) requirements:

A) Express meaning by pointing to ontology via reified object ( Entry -> 
hasSense -> Sense -> representedBy OntologyEntity)

B) Shortcut: in many cases, a sense object will not be required, so a 
default mode should be sth. like (Entry -> hasMeaning -> OntologyEntity) 
where: \forall x,y,z hasSense(x,y) & representedBy(y,z) \rightarrow 
hasMeaning(x,z)
and \forall x,z hasMeaning(x,z) \rightarrow \exists y hasSense(x,y) & 
representedBy(y,z)

C) Form-dependent meaning: e.g. plural and singular can have diff. meanings

D) Express meaning of diff. POS => support to express the meaning of 
different open class POS (noun, verb, adjective, adverb, ...)

E) Pushing sign upfront / allowing for vagueness: no ontological 
commitment by the lexicon, meaning is expressed by pointing to an 
ontology concept/class. This class can be vague or not. It can be even 
empty or inconsistent. The lexicon will not make any strong ontological 
claims thus, but pick up the ontological symbols, claiming that they 
intuitively "represent" the meaning, whatever the meaning turns out to be.

2) Specification of Requirements / Properties-and-Relations of Entries

=> Here we will need to merge the proposal of John with the one of Lupe 
and Elena

=> The list of Piek should be added here I think.

3) I will work out the requirements on "Lexical Variation and 
Paraphrases" until Friday.

The access details can be found here as usual:
