teleconference tomorrow 15:00

Dear all,

  this is a gentle reminder that we will have our weekly ontolex 
teleconference on Friday, 15:00.
I will circulate access details by latest tomorrow.

Here are the main agenda points (taken from John's email):

Core:

  * In core there is now a 'SenseLexicon' class but no property to
    relate it any other elements in the model
  * We could/should consider using dct:language instead of
    ontolex:languageURI
  * We cannot give conditions when a Lexical Sense should apply (lemon
    had a condition property for this)
  * It would be useful to indicate when a mapping is dependent on the
    range or domain of a property (possibly)
  * Should we add subclasses of LexicalEntry as follows Word,
    MultiWordExpression, Affix?

Syntax and Semantics

  * There is no property to indicate the conjugation (morphological
    pattern) of a word

Variation

  * Lexical Variant is defined between either forms /or/ lexical
    entries... there should be a class that is only for forms and a
    class that is only for entries
  * All variants are specified only in their 'reified' form, do we want
    to allow users to directly state variation between two entries (or
    forms or senses) with a single triple?
  * Are the Interlingual-/IntralingualVariant classes necessary?

Metadata

  * There is no link between the metadata module and any other module in
    OntoLex
  * The Lexicon class is a duplicate of one already in the core
  * The language property is a duplicate of one defined in the core
  * ConceptualizedLinguisticResource is not used by any other part of module
  * The 'lexical link set' class and property are not used by any other
    part of the module
  * Several properties are named the same as classes except for the case
    of the first letter: resourceCoverage, language, lexicalLinkSet and
    lexicalization
  * Is the 'linguistic model' really required by every lexicalization?


Please check also the examples on the metadata module that I will send 
today.

We should also discuss the issue brought up by Francesca. My feeling is 
also that it is akward to see anonyms as "variants". They are clearly 
semantic relations that we should not specify further. So we could think 
about introducing a generic "senseRelation".

On the issue of variation that John raises: we could add two classes 
LexicalFormVariant and LexicalSenseVariant; the interlingual and 
intralingual variants we agreed to leave out of the model. But we wanted 
to keep translation as a subclass of LexicalSenseVariant I think.

Talk to you tomorrow,

Philipp.
