Re: Question about lexinfo and ontolex

Dear John,

Thank you for your message. I've read some pages about ELEXIS project, but
it sound very early for us to join. We will gather a network around this
project and see if we may suggest to our institution to become a partner.
Our project is for now mainly based on political expectations, not on a
research team. Well, I co-authored an abstract for the TOTh conference in
June, where there will be an ELEXIS session, so it may be an opportunity to
meet people from this project.

As I understand it, Lexicog is challenging the specific issue we were
fighting with, and the suggested solution of considering a class for the
entry in the source document sounds good for me. We will explore it.

Thanks for the hint on LexInfo 3.0.

We will continue the design and let you know about our project soon.

Regards,
Noé
