Is it possible to enrich ontologies with a specialized domain linguistic resource?

Abstract

Enriching ontologies with linguistic resources is considered an important target in natural language applications. These linguistic resources should contain not only linguistic but knowledge information. However the linguistic resources available, such as WordNet, are built around lexical relations such as synonymy, antonym, hyponymy, etc. and they do not provide enough information for ontology building. On the other hand, ontologies building requires deeper and more accurate knowledge than general vocabulary contains and, consequently, demands specialized domain resources. This paper presents a linguistic resource developed for Spanish, that has been built followingsome Meaning-Text Theory principles, in order to contain as much possible knowledge related to several specialized domains.
