Re: Minutes teleconference last Friday

Elena,

   not sure if I understand correctly:

Are you proposing to replace:

"The class *lexical sense* represents the lexical meaning of a lexical 
entry when interpreted as referring to the corresponding ontology 
element. A link between a lexical entry and an ontology entity via a 
LexicalSense object implies that the lexical entry can be used to refer 
to the ontology entity in question under corresponding connotations, 
pragmatic implications and meaning nuances that might no be directly 
modeled in the ontology. These pragmatic conditions and meaning nuances 
can be attached to the LexicalSense object, which represents a 
reification of the pair of LexicalEntry and ontology element. The 
Lexical Sense thus uniquely determines a lexical entry and an 
ontological entity it is associated with."

with:

“Via the lexical sense object we can attach additional properties to a 
pair of lexical entry and the ontological predicate that it denotes to 
describe under which conditions (context, register, domain, etc.) it is 
valid to regard the lexical entry as having the ontological entity as 
meaning. For example, we may wish to express the usages of the word 
"consumption" in terms of the topic and the diachronic usage of the word.”

???

Where is the part with the lexical meaning, the reification of the pair 
of lexical entry and ontology elements, etc. etc.

Are you proposing to remove this? This is not appropriate in my view as 
you are emphasizing the fact that the sense is mainly for attaching 
additional properties while it is *mainly* for reifying the relation 
between a lexical element and the ontology element it denotes. The fact 
that one can attach additional conditions is an effect of this.

If you think it helps, I can try to simplify the definition a bit. 
Should I ?

Regards,

Philipp.
