Question about lexinfo and ontolex

Dear Ontolex members,

I am glad to have an opportunity to get in touch you all, but with a
question to start.
I am just joining the domain of ontology with a background in fieldwork
linguistics and enthusiastic lexicography in Wiktionary, plus English is
not my mother tongue, so excuse me if I sound a little odd sometimes.

So, I am part of a dictionary project for French language based on French
Wiktionary data and other materials collected and digitized. This project,
funded by a branch of the ministry of Culture of France, will be developed
by an external provider and it aims to be an app to read several
dictionaries and a contributive platform to gather information and comments
about the language. One of the main feature will be to manage definitions
based on geographical information and semantic domains preferences.

We are at the stage of ontology design. With Jean Delahousse, a semantic
web consultant, we explored Lemon, Ontolex-Lemon, Lexinfo and Dbnary. We
are interested to use Lexinfo as backbone ontology. We now have some
difficulties to understand how to map a LexicalEntry with several POS. We
can't figure out how to connect lexinfo:PartOfSpeech with
lemon:LexicalSense. Lexinfo website says a version 3.0 is ongoing, based on
Ontolex-Lemon rather than Lemon. We imagine it may helps us to map our
data, so are you going well with this version? May we have some insight on
the ongoing development? It might be simpler for our project to use the
oncoming version of the ontology.

Thanks for your help, we'll keep you inform about the project and let ask
for your advice about the localisation information we will add on several
classes to manage the provenance and geographical contexte of the words and
definitions.
