BFO-Based Ontological Analysis Framework: Definition Annotation Manual (Version 1)

Authors/Creators

  • 1. ROR icon University College Cork

Description

This definition annotation manual provides guidelines for:

  • Segmenting natural language definitions into their genus and differentia parts.
  • Tagging each segment with an ontological label provided by a relational model that is based on any of the categories of the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO), a realist upper-level ontology (Arp, 2015; Smith et al., 2015; Spear, 2006).

This manual specifies the basic principles for structuring a corpus of terminological definitions and for implementing the proposed BFO-based ontological annotation schema in XML.
