Re: mapping properties of forms in Lexinfo

Dear Flavia,
Another option might be to explicitly model the derivation process between lexical entries, using morphemes and derivation rules.
You may be interested to see how we did this in LiLa, using the new Morph Ontolex module:

Best,

(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.

> 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.
