Re: mapping properties of forms in Lexinfo

Dear Flavia,

You can also create your resource-specific features, but define them as
instances of the popular OLiA [1] or GOLD [2] ontologies. (OLiA is more
suitable to model corpus annotation schemas, but can be used in lexical
resources too). In this case, your resource retains interoperability with
other OLiA/GOLD-based resources and applications.

For example, define the *pejorative* feature:

@prefix : <http://example.org/myfeatures#> .
> @prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> .
> @prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> .
> @prefix owl: <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#> .
> @prefix olia <http://purl.org/olia/olia.owl#> .
>
> :pejorative
>   a olia:PejorativeEvaluative;
>   rdfs:label
>     "pejorative"@en,
>     "peggiorativo"@en.
>

And then link it to the *personacce* lexical entry:

@prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> .
> @prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> .
> @prefix ontolex: <http://www.w3.org/ns/lemon/ontolex#> .
> @prefix lexinfo: <http://www.lexinfo.net/ontology/3.0/lexinfo#> .
> @prefix olia <http://purl.org/olia/olia.owl#> .
> @prefix myfeatures: <http://example.org/myfeatures#> .
>
> <http://example.org/mylexicon/politicastro>

  a ontolex:Word;
>   rdfs:label "politicastro"@it;
>   lexinfo:partOfSpeech lexinfo:noun;
>   olia:hasEvaluativeFeature myfeatures:pejorative.

If you use OLiA, the easiest way to link features to lexical entries/forms
is to reuse subproperties of the olia_system:hasFeature object property
(e.g. olia:hasEvaluativeFeature as in the example below). However, defining
your own object properties (as subproperties of
lexinfo:morphosyntacticProperty) may be a more preferable way. First, the
domain of olia_system:hasFeature is the olia_system:LinguisticAnnotation
class, and so, strictly speaking, this property is a property of
annotations (i.e. token-level entities), not lexical entries or forms. And,
second, such subproperties are not defined for all feature classes. Also,
you can link all the features just by the single top-level
lexinfo:morphosyntacticProperty property.

Best,
Alexander Kirillovich
