RE: telco tomorrow, 15:00 CET, random talk

Hi Francesca,

in replying to Guido - who was advocating the possibility of linking glosses
to different entries (LexicalSenses, or LexicalConcepts) - I said: "you are
right Guido, as there are lexical resources which have no notion of
LexicalConcept, think about Dictionaries (either bilingual or monolingual)
which just have entries, and sense-separated descriptions, which may contain
morphological variations, synonyms (translations for bilingual
dictionaries), glosses etc..". Thus in Dictionaries, there are just lexical
entries, and their descriptions which are sense-separated, but there is no
gluing object for senses. There is even no guarantee that two senses of two
lexical entries, which ideally collapse into a same meaning
(LexicalConcept), have the same gloss, because these are handled separately
in the descriptions of the two lexical entries (though, hopefully, the two
glosses will provide very similar descriptions :-) ). For these resources,
IF we want to represent them, there is no choice but allowing for glosses to
be attached to LexicalSenses.

My suggestion was to use the metadata, to understand which kind of lexical
resource we are dealing with, and thus know in advance where the glosses (if
any) are attached to.

Best,

Armando
