Abstract

In the last years a rapid emergence of lexical resources has evolved in the Semantic Web. Whereas most of the linguistic information is already machine-readable, we found that morphological information is mostly absent or only contained in semi-structured strings. An integration of morphemic data has not yet been undertaken due to the lack of existing domain-specific ontologies and explicit morphemic data. In this paper, we present the Multilingual Morpheme Ontology called MMoOn Core which can be regarded as the first comprehensive ontology for the linguistic domain of morphological language data. It will be described how crucial concepts like morphs, morphemes, word forms and meanings are represented and interrelated and how language-specific morpheme inventories can be created as a new possibility of morphological datasets. The aim of the MMoOn Core ontology is to serve as a shared semantic model for linguists and NLP researchers alike to enable the creation, conversion, exchange, reuse and enrichment of morphological language data across different data-dependent language sciences. Therefore, various use cases are illustrated to draw attention to the cross-disciplinary potential which can be realized with the MMoOn Core ontology in the context of the existing Linguistic Linked Data research landscape.

MMoOn Core –多语言词素本体

摘要

在过去的几年中，词汇资源在语义网中迅速发展。尽管大多数语言信息已经是机器可读的，但我们发现形态信息大部分不存在或仅包含在半结构化字符串中。由于缺乏现有的领域特定本体和显式词素数据，因此尚未进行词素数据的集成。在本文中，我们提出了称为MMoOn Core的多语言词素本体，它可以被视为形态语言数据语言领域的第一个综合本体。将描述诸如词素，词素，词形和含义之类的关键概念是如何表示和相互关联的，以及如何创建特定于语言的词素清单作为词法数据集的一种新可能性。MMoOn核心本体的目的是作为语言学家和NLP研究人员的共享语义模型，以支持跨不同数据依赖语言科学的形态语言数据的创建，转换，交换，重用和丰富。因此，举例说明了各种用例，以引起人们对跨学科潜力的关注，这可以在现有语言链接数据研究环境的背景下使用MMoOn Core本体实现。
