Re: [ontolog-forum] commercial products

[Pavithra <pavithra_kenjige@xxxxxxxxx>]

Even though giving  a link to  commercial products may be not permitted here,   I have a point to make...

If you try those visual thesaurus product,  for each word that I typed there were at least 8 - 24 meanings or ways of usage..

That just tells me,  that most of the words in English language is used in many different ways.

The presentation  "An OOR Implementation for COLORE "  ( on 9/10)   on Kojeware on slide 7 there was a reference for URN and resolution..   as follows.. ( with other things)

Universal Resource Names (URNs)
URN resolution requires more consideration

With so many different ways of referencing the same words, the resolution can get a little tough.  May be that is why they should use URI, more so because URN can be  URI too..
URI would give more of a granularity or clarity to the usage of the words..

My two sense to on this issue.. (  However the visual thesuraus is a nice looking product, no offense to Peter, pardon me... )

PS:  I forgot to mention that Uta Priss, who manages the web site,
also added a sublattice generator for WordNet.  It's very interesting
to compare the results from both WordNet and Roget's Thesaurus for
any particular word:

    http://www.ketlab.org.uk/wordnet.html

    http://www.ketlab.org.uk/roget.html

Compare the verb 'explore' on both, for example.  WN gives a more
detailed hierarchy than Roget's.

For 'happy', you won't get anything from WN, but a rather interesting
lattice from Roget's.

For 'book', WN generates a two-level lattice with 7 supertypes of
'book'.  Roget's presents a more interesting lattice with both noun
senses and verb senses for 'book'.

In general, WordNet has very poor coverage for adjectives.  At VivoMind,
we use Roget's Thesaurus as a supplement to WN, and it is especially
useful for adjective and adverbs.
