Because they are language-specific, semantic tagsets are not constructed based on the same methodologies as general/universal conceptual ontologies.", | |

Each unit will be accompanied by examples (to make clear the senses we are talking about) and by a short summary of the potential tagging problems I see it posing. Participants are invited to study this list before the session starts and prepare any contribution they may wish to make to the discussion, based on the following questions:", | |

The purpose is not so much to decide who has got the right solution. I believe we should postulate that nobody has got it, and that we precisely need to meet and discuss the problem of semantic tagset construction in order to get closer to the most suitable solution. My own participation in this aspect of the session will be the presentation of the work we are doing in Montreal, on the building of a semantic tagset for a French dictionary of collocations.", | |
