The Art of Modelling Terminology Resources with Ontolex-lemon and Semantic Web Standards: the TERMCAT Usecase

Despite the constant growth of language resources, there remains a lack of terminological and lexico- graphic data available in interoperable formats like RDF. To palliate this deficiency, efforts must focus on developing guidelines for modelling and sharing such data in formats that facilitate interoperability and seamless integration across platforms and applications. To achieve this objective, this study analyses the modelling requirements of the glossaries published by the Catalan Terminology Centre (TERMCAT) for their transformation into RDF, following, among others, Ontolex-lemon, the de facto standard for the modelling of lexicographic resources in RDF. In this contribution, we explore extensions and adaptations of previous modelling strategies to accommodate the specific requirements of the TERMCAT glossaries, discuss the modelling issues encountered in the process, and propose alternative modelling options.
