<div align="center">OntoLex 2005 - Ontologies and Lexical Resources<br>
IJCNLP-05 Workshop<br>
October 15, 2005 Jeju Island, South Korea<br>
<br>
<br>
Background and Goals<br>
</div>
<br>
The new framework of Information Society fostered the growing of the HLT
area and the project of turning the World Wide Web into a machine
understandable resource to access digital information (the so-called
Semantic Web), posing new challenges for integrated technologies.
Lexicographers, lexical semanticists and ontologists are joining forces
to build innovative systems for integrating ontological knowledge with
lexical and semantic resources. Important examples of this interaction
are the recent works on the conceptual analysis of WordNet, and the wide
use of upper ontologies in innovative international projects like
EuroWordNet, SIMPLE, Balkanet, DWDSnet, etc.<br>
OntoLex 2005 will be the fourth workshop on Ontologies and Lexical
Knowledge Bases, following OntoLex 2000, 2002, and 2004. In this workshop
we want to discuss the relation between ontological knowledge and
language. A special focus will be on the role of ontologies in
multilingual language processing. This relation can be investigated from
a number of different angles, for example:<br>
- what differences and similarities there are between ontologies and more
traditional lexical resources such as dictionaries and wordnets;<br>
- how ontologies can be extracted from language corpora;<br>
- what role language plays in the definition and mapping of
ontologies;<br>
- how to enrich semantic information in wordnets using formal
tools;<br>
- how ontologies can be used to treat language in language technology
applications.<br>
Ontologies and lexical resources can benefit from each other and converge
into a unified framework where semantics is provided by formally rigorous
ontological and lexical information.<br>
