Abstract

Ontologies are the central component for the Semantic Web, since they can be used to explicitly represent the semantics of structured or semi-structured information. In this paper, we describe the recent developments of a lexical ontology named the TCL's computational lexicon, which aims to serve as the core knowledge base for the Semantic Web. We focus on designing a new specification of the semantic information based on the logical and semantic constraints. We sketch practical approaches to acquire these constraints by reusing and extending existing linguistic resources.
