Here is a link to their Spatial Relations terms. Note that it is an old page (2002) so you might want to dig around a little, particularly on their commercial site, www.cyc.com. http://www.cyc.com/cycdoc/vocab/spatial-vocab.html Tim From: [email protected] [ mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dalia E Varanka Sent: Monday, September 21, 2009 9:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Fw: [tbc-users] Re: source for glossary terms Rather than place names and categories of places, what my project needs is a list of simple words for predicates that explain the relative locations of things are, such as "near" "adjacent" "connects" "overlaps" or "inside," and such. I was thinking of an ordinary dictionary that is widely used, where definitions could be easily understood, but would easy to use with TBC-ME. I am considering WordNet, but I have to learn more about it. I thought that since 'meanings' are so important in the definition of terms in semantic technology, that there may be sources on the semantic web that explain terms in good old plain English. Does anybody have any ideas? ----- Forwarded by Dalia E Varanka/GEOG/USGS/DOI on 09/21/2009 08:34 AM ----- From: Scott Henninger <[email protected]> To: TopBraid Composer Users <[email protected]> Date: 09/18/2009 03:30 PM Subject: [tbc-users] Re: source for glossary terms Sent by: [email protected] Dalia; GeoNames is one thought - see http://www.geonames.org/ontology/ -- Scott On Sep 18, 3:13 pm, Dalia E Varanka <[email protected]> wrote: > I am trying to define some new properties for a spatial relations > ontology. > Are there any vocabularies you recommend that work well with TBC-ME? > > thanks for considering it > > Dalia <br --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TopBraid Composer Users" group.
