Re: regular date for telecons

Hi all and Happy new Year,

I must say that I am also in favour of these topics (even if I do not have much time to work on this).

Concerning Lexico-syntactic categories, I went to Olia for DBnary, but found some (very few) gaps to encode some entries (missing cases/genders, etc.) especially to encode the extensive morphology (set of alternative forms, annotated with morpho-syntactic features). But this may be due to my personal lack of knowledge for linguistic theory.

Concerning morphology module, we indeed need to identify one or maybe several morphology ontology that could be used to intentionally describe the morphology of some languages.

Concerning Diachronic Module, I worked with Ester Pantaleo (under a MediaWiki grant) to extract etymology from wiktionary and we really lack an ontology of etymological relations and a set of best practices on etymology encoding. I did not see any published ontology in this aspect but I read some articles/work on this recently (https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01296498/ <https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01296498/>) . We also had problems with the identification of languages (ancients + variants) that lexvo does not contain. We may extract a set of all languages mentioned in etymology section (at least in the English language Edition). 

Regards,

Gilles,
