Methodological underpinnings for the creation of subontologies in FunGramKB

Abstract

This paper describes the methodological aspects of the construction of terminological subontologies within the architecture of FunGramKB. The main hypothesis is that the multilevel model of the Nuclear Ontology in FunGramKB (metaconceptual level, basic level and terminal level) can be connected to a terminological subontology in order to minimize redundancy and maximize information knowledge. One of the features of this subontology is, firstly, its implementation for the creation of a specialized module in the Ontology and, secondly, its focus on deep semantics, in contrast with the vast majority of terminological ontologies, which are based on surface semantics.
