Thanks. I guess now I am really getting a bit confused. The ITS Draft has http://sws.geonames.org/4951788 as an example its-ta-ident-ref This led me to believe that I could annotate NL fragments in the html document with the URIs of resources such as countries (or rather whatever type that URI has - some sort of feature, I am guessing, but can't seem to find). And then in the discussion there were things like http://dbpedia.org/resource/Dublin which again is a URI of a resource that is in the end Wikipedia's idea of what Dublin is. (The RDF from the URI doesn't seem to give types, but the SPARQL endpoint says it is a dbpedia:ontology/Place among other things.) But in this message you have moved to using http://wiktionary.dbpedia.org (and lexvo), which I understand to be concerned with URIs for words, as with Wordnet. Is this switch significant? So is its-ta-ident-ref restricted to URIs for words? And if not, since Classes are resources, surely they can be used for its-ta-ident-ref? And with respect to whether I am mixing levels, the answer is I think "yes". I want to be able to make annotations at any level. So I might annotate the word "goose" as the word goose, a URI for the goose I am eating, or an instance of the class of geese. (And even the property goose, if I could think of such a thing.) Of course it may cause some processors problems to have such things but should the expressivity be restricted because of that? (And I guess if there are restrictions it should say so in the ITS document - although I can't find it.) Thanks again for your patience - I realise that I am probably looking at using ITS well out of its design spec, but it does seem to be useful if I want to do really simple annotation (and consume it).

Named Entity Recognition and Linking (i.e class (Person, etc.) and entity link) are a much more common use case than relation extraction, which is why we included it from the start. This was a given separation done by language tools, any how. Making a distinction between instances, properties (object, datatype), classes and annotations is OWL specific, so the motivation+rationale comes from a different domain. >>>>> -- Sebastian >>>>> >>>> >>> >>> -- >>> Dipl.
