Ontologies

This repo includes the main ontologies used in the LiLa - Linking Latin project. This includes the main LiLa ontology for lemmas, forms and hypolemmas.

A special class of ontologies for tagset (which use the OLiA annotation and linking model) are groupped in a special folder.

The LiLa ontology

Documentation coming soon. In the menawnile, check the comments and version info of the owl files...

The Latin extension

As the main OLiA model (olia.owl, see next section) was missing a couple of concepts that are useful to describe Latin, we created a document called latin-extension.owl, which inherits the OLiA linking model but introduces a couple of new concepts or relations.

One instance is the gerundive.

LiLa's OLiA-compliant Ontologies

Here is a series of ontologies for the LiLa project which adopt the OLiA linking approach and are connected to the main OLiA linking model.

Structure

In principle, all tagset is described with 2 documents:

• annotation model: connects the tags (instances) to the project-specific concepts
• linking model: connects the project-specific concepts to a unified OLiA model

URI schema

All the OLiA-compliant ontologies use the following URI schema:

• domain: http://lila-erc.eu/data
• type: doc
• concept: vocabulary
• reference: document#element

Thus, the ablative case in the Perseus annotation document is identified as:
