source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

For subsequent usages rerun the following command

source env/bin/activate

Building

The ontology can be built with the following command

python src/build-ontology.py

The most recent ontology is available at ontology/3.0/lexinfo.owl

Deploying

The following are the steps to deploy the ontology

python src/build-ontology.py > ontology/3.0/lexinfo.owl
cp ontology/3.0/lexinfo.owl docs/ontology/3.0/lexinfo.owl
rapper -o turtle docs/ontology/3.0/lexinfo.owl > docs/ontology/3.0/lexinfo.ttl

Editing

The ontology is generated from a selection of CSV and Turtle files:

Morphosyntactic Properties

The list of the morphosyntactic properties is available in data/morphosyntactic_properties.csv. The values for each of these properties are listed in individual CSV files in the data/values folder.

Definitions

Properties for defining entries are listed in data/definitions.csv. These are datatype properties whose range is assumed to be a lang-tagged literal.

Representations

The representations are listed in data/representations.csv. These can be used in place of the default writtenRep and phoneticRep properties in OntoLex

Usages

The usages give usage restrictions on a sense and are listed in data/usages.csv.

Arguments and Frames

These extend the synsem module of OntoLex

The arguments are listed in the file data/syntactic_arguments.csv, some extra information about the arguments is added in the file data/args.ttl.

The frames are lists in the file data/frames.csv and further definition is given in Turtle in data/frames.ttl. In addition, examples of the frames are list in data/frame_examples.csv

Relations

Relations extend the vartrans module of OntoLex

The relations are listed in the file data/relations.csv
