Towards OntoLex–Lemon editing in VocBench 3
Parole chiave:

Released in early May 2016, the OntoLex–Lemon model is a suite of agreed–upon RDF vocabularies for the representation of ontology lexicons. The OntoLex–Lemon model, as well as its predecessor Monnet lemon, has also been used (actually “misused”, from a certain point of view) to represent lexical–semantic resources (e.g. wordnets), dictionaries and, more broadly, to serve as a cornerstone of the Linguistic Linked Open Data cloud. The number of users potentially interested in editing or consuming OntoLex–Lemon data is thus very large. However, common ontology and rdf editors are inconvenient because of the complex design patterns embodied in the OntoLex–Lemon model, which relies heavily on reification and indirection. In this paper, we discuss our ongoing work to extend the collaborative thesaurus and ontology editor VocBench with facilities tailored to the OntoLex–Lemon model, while retaining its large feature set and the wide modelling spectrum offered by RDF.
