Conceptual Analysis of Lexical Taxonomies: The Case of WordNet Top-Level
Aldo Gangemi, Nicola Guarino, Alessandro Oltramari
Abstract
In this paper we propose an analysis and an upgrade of WordNet's top-level synset taxonomy. We briefly review WordNet and identify its main semantic limitations. Some principles from a forthcoming OntoClean methodology are applied to the ontological analysis of WordNet. A revised top-level taxonomy is proposed, which is meant to be more conceptually rigorous, cognitively transparent, and efficiently exploitable in several applications.
