General description
Name: | ConceptTerms |
---|---|
Submitted by: | Pierre-YvesVandenbussche, JeanCharlet |
Also Known As: | |
Intent: | This CP allows designers to represent both conceptual and linguistic part of a vocabulary.
The pattern purpose is not to encompass all linguistic complexity as Linginfo or LMF does, but to describe linguistic information in more details than SKOS which names concept whith simple labels. |

Solution description: | A concept is named in a particular language by a preferred term and a set of simple non preferred terms. Those terms artifacts specialize the term entity which owns common properties. This list of properties may be extended depending on vocabulary specific needs.
This pattern suits for various vocabularies (thesaurus, terminology, taxonomy…) and has been applied to GEMET, Eurovoc, CIM10 among other. Modeling takes into account: -the possibility to extend the current pattern in order to add some more precise linguistic information (for instance represent translation relation between two terms since term is a class) -minimal linguistic artifacts necessary for vocabulary resource access by providing a preferred Term to name a concept and some synonyms which are Simple non preferred terms. |

Consequences: | Compare to labels on a concept class, this solution has a higher data load. |
Scenarios: | Used for vocabulary representation. For example in Eurovoc(http://europa.eu/eurovoc/), a concept has a preferred term "social sciences" in english and a simple non preferred term (i.e. synonyms) "humanities" in the same language whereas the same concept has a preferred term "sciences sociales" in french and a simple non preferred term "sciences humaines" in this language. If we wanted to add a translation relation between terms we could state that "social sciences" english term is a translation of "sciences sociales" french term. If we consider a second preferred term in english "award" which names a concept, in a particular information retrieval context, we could define a coumpound non preferred term "social sciences awards" which is related to preferred terms "social sciences" and "award". |

- This ontology contains an example ABox for the ConceptTerms CP available at http://sites.google.com/site/pierreyvesvandenbussche/resources/ConceptTerms.owl
This ontology describes example coming from Eurovoc(http://europa.eu/eurovoc/) where a concept has a preferred term "social sciences" in english and a simple non preferred term (i.e. synonyms) "humanities" in the same language whereas the same concept has a preferred term "sciences sociales" in french and a simple non preferred term "sciences humaines" in this language. We consider a second preferred term in english "award" which names a concept. In this particular information retrieval context, we define a coumpound non preferred term "social sciences awards" which is related to preferred terms "social sciences" and "award". >>>
