Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.
The relation between ontologies and language is currently at the forefront of
natural language processing (NLP). Ontologies, as widely used models in
semantic technologies, have much in common with the lexicon. A lexicon
organizes words as a conventional inventory of concepts, while an ontology
formalizes concepts and their logical relations. A shared lexicon is the
prerequisite for knowledge-sharing through language, and a shared ontology is
the prerequisite for knowledge-sharing through information technology. In
building models of language, computational linguists must be able to
accurately map the relations between words and the concepts that they can be
linked to. This book focuses on the technology involved in enabling
integration between lexical resources and semantic technologies. It will be of
interest to researchers and graduate students in NLP, computational
linguistics, and knowledge engineering, as well as in semantics,
psycholinguistics, lexicology and morphology/syntax.
