[email protected] Academia Sinica & Peking University NLPKE2003 Special Session:
Upper Ontology and Natural Language Processing Beijing, October 28th-30th, 2003
The Academia Sinica
Bilingual Ontological Wordnet http://BOW.sinica.edu.tw/
WordNet SUMO (Suggested Upper Merged Ontology) http://ontology.teknowledge.com English-Chinese translation equivalence database
The Construction of BOW Towards a linguistic infrastructure for knowledge representation and knowledge engineering The
Criteria
Lexicon-driven Multilingual
•Bilingual interface or •Chinese default/English mouse-over Domain
Inter-operable
What is in BOW
English-Chinese Translation Equivalents Database -includes all WordNet entries -manually checked, up to 3 Chinese translation for each English entry
SUMO as upper ontology -C-E bilingual ontology nodes -lexical-conceptual link
Domain Tag (under constr.)
BOW’ GOALS To give each linguistic form a rigorous conceptual location, To clarify the relation between conceptual classification and linguistic instantiation, and To facilitate genuine cross-lingual access of knowledge.
Functions of BOW Sense-based English-Chinese translation equivalency From English Word-Sense to Ontology and Inference From Chinese Word to Ontology and Inference From Word-Sense to Domain (to be completed)
Sinica BOW English-Chinese Lookup Search by lexical lemma Top Level POS + Frequency + Available Resources
Resources includes wordnets, lexica, and corpora. If the chosen lemma appear in any of the resources, user can click to hyperlink to outside sources, or expanded the relevant data onsite
Wordnet Level List of all senses of the chosen lemma

Integrating KnowledgeBases
A network of upper ontology (e.g. SUMO) and domain ontologies will provide the basis for synergy of knowledge and provide robust basis for versatile knowledge engineering
