NeoVoc/language/fr: Difference between revisions

* The meta-terminology used for this task might be unusual for terminologists and/or lexicographers; for obvious reasons, we tend to call things how they are called on a Wikibase. May this very short glossary be helpful:

** “concept entry”: On a Wikibase, an entity URI starting with “Q” describes an ontological concept (an entry in a concept-centered termbase), which is “labelled” with one preferred label and several “alternative” labels. Wikibase labels are not supposed to be terms, at least not on Wikidata; they are strings that users might want to enter in a search when trying to find the concept entry. That allows fuzzyness and redundancy. We enter our exact and validated terms (the multilingual equivalents that denote the concept we have in front of us) in the “statements” section, where we can further describe them.

** “lexeme entry”: On a Wikibase, lexical dictionary-like entries (lemma-centered entries that offer a linguistic description) are by default modelled according to Ontolex-Lemon. Their URI starts with an “L”. Each Lexeme entity has “Sense” and “Form” subentities; these are displayed on the same entity page (e.g. https://eneoli.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Lexeme:L1). The “sense” section lists dictionary senses, the “forms” section lists (inflected) word forms together with a morphological description of the form (on Wikibase called “grammatical features”, like genitive, plural, etc.). Lexeme entries do not have labels, they have lemmata associated to language codes instead (they can have more than one, look at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Lexeme:L791). The further linguistic description of the lexeme consists in statements attached at the appropriate level (entry, sense, form). Most important for us is that dictionary senses will be linked to ontology items. This link in Ontolex is referred to as ontolex:reference, on Wikidata as http://www.wikidata.org/entity/P5137, and on our Wikibase as https://eneoli.wikibase.cloud/entity/P12 (“concept for this sense”). This is what links lexical entries to concept entries; exploiting that link, data involving concept entries and lexical entries can be brought together.
