Describe a lexical/conceptual resource (lexicon, glossary, ontology, etc.)

In this section you will find information on how to describe a language description (model, grammar) with the minimal metadata in order to register it in the ELG platform. If you want to find more on the ELG resource types, see Overview. You will also find instructions for all data resources(technical requirements, registration instructions to the platform) in Provide a Language Resource.

Examples of lexical/conceptual resources include

  • computational lexica, that are used for computational processing, and include morphological, syntactic and semantic information;
  • dictionaries in digital format,
  • ontologies and controlled vocabularies,
  • monolingual and multilingual terminological glossaries,
  • word lists, gazetteers of place names, proper names, etc.

They typically consist of a text part, but they may also comprise audio and video files, as in the case of:

  • multimedia lexica with sound recordings (e.g., pronunciation of a word) and images (e.g. pictures denoting the sense of a word),
  • sign language lexica with videos.

CORLEX is a subcorpus of the Reference Corpus of Contemporary Portuguese and contains written and spoken texts of several types, being genre diversity a characteristic of this corpus. CORLEX contains mainly journalistic texts (56% of the written corpus and 53% of the whole corpus). In order to extract the lexicon, all the different lexical forms occurring in the corpus were indexed and subsequently tagged morphosyntactically and lemmatised by PALAVROSO. Each lemma in MCL is followed by morphosyntactic and quantitative information. The same information is given regarding each lemma token (inflected forms and some compounds). The lexicon indexations are listed in alphabetical order or decreasing frequency order.</ms:description>

LexicalConceptualResourceTextPart

Path MetadataRecord.DescribedEntity.LanguageResource.LRSubclass.Corpus.CorpusMediaPart.LexicalConceptualResourceTextPart

Data type component

Optionality Mandatory if applicable

Explanation & Instructions

A part (or whole set) of a lexical/conceptual resource that consists of textual elements

You can repeat the group of elements for multiple textual parts.

The mandatory or recommended elements for the text part of lexical/conceptual resources are:

  • mediaType (Mandatory): Specifies the media type of a language resource (the physical medium of the contents representation). For text parts, always use the value ‘text’.
  • lingualityType (Mandatory ): Indicates whether the resource includes one, two or more languages.
  • multilingualityType (Mandatory if applicable): Indicates whether the resource (part) is parallel, comparable or mixed. If lingualityType = bilingual or multilingual, it is required; select one of the values for parallel (e.g., original text and its translations), comparable (e.g. corpus of the same domain in multiple languages) and multilingualSingleText (for corpora that consist of segments including text in two or more languages (e.g., the transcription of a European Parliament session with MPs speaking in their native language).
  • language (Mandatory): Specifies the language that is used in the resource part , expressed according to the BCP47 recommendation. See language.
  • languageVariety (Mandatory if applicable): Relates a language resource that contains segments in a language variety (e.g., dialect, jargon) to it. Please use for dialect corpora.
  • metalanguage (Mandatory): Specifies the language that is used in the resource part , expressed according to the BCP47 recommendation. See language.
  • modalityType (Recommended if applicable): Specifies the type of the modality represented in the resource. For instance, you can use ‘spoken language’ to describe transcribed speech corpora.

DatasetDistribution

Path MetadataRecord.DescribedEntity.LanguageResource.LRSubclass.Corpus.DatasetDistribution

Data type component

Optionality Mandatory

Explanation & Instructions

Any form with which a dataset is distributed, such as a downloadable form in a specific format (e.g., spreadsheet, plain text , etc.) or an API with which it can be accessed

You can repeat the element for multiple distributions.

The list of mandatory and recommended elements are:

  • DatasetDistributionForm (Mandatory): The form (medium/channel) used for distributing a language resource consisting of data (e.g., a corpus, a lexicon, etc.). The typical values are ‘downloadable’, ‘accessibleThroughInterface’, ‘accessibleThroughQuery’ (see more at DatasetDistributionForm).
  • downloadLocation (Mandatory if applicable): A URL where the language resource (mainly data but also downloadable software programmes or forms) can be downloaded from. Use this element if the value of datasetDistributionForm is ‘downloadable’ and only for direct download links (i.e., from which the dataset is downloaded without the need of further actions such as clicks on a page).
  • accessLocation (Mandatory if applicable): A URL where the resource can be accessed from; it can be used for landing pages or for cases where the resource is accessible via an interface, i.e. cases where the resource itself is not provided with a direct link for downloading. Use if the value of datasetDistributionForm is ‘accessibleThroughInterface’ or ‘accessibleThroughQuery’ but also for links used for downloading corpora which are mentioned on a landing page or require some kind of action on the part of the user.
  • licenceTerms (Mandatory): See licenceTerms.
  • cost (Mandatory if applicable): Introduces the cost for accessing a resource, formally described as a set of amount and currency unit. Please use only for resources available at a cost and not for free resources.

Depending on the parts of the corpus, you must also use one or more of the following:
