Conceptualization of entities in a criminal law subontology: analysing the superordinate concept +DRUG_00 in FunGramKb

Abstract

[ES] Este artículo describe las fases de construcción de una ontología terminológica dentro de la arquitectura de FunGramKB, una base de conocimiento léxico-conceptual para el procesamiento computacional del lenguaje natural. La descomposición semántica de la terminología compleja se realiza siguiendo el proceso COHERENT, esto es, una metodología gradual para la formalización de conceptos especializados. Para tratar de ilustrar este proceso hemos seleccionado el concepto +DRUG_00, así como otros conceptos subordinados, tales como METHAMPHETAMINE00,METHAMPHETAMINE_00, CANNABIS_00 y COCAINE_00 pertenecientes al dominio de las sustancias estupefacientes (drogas). Las definiciones de los conceptos seleccionados se basan en COREL, un metalenguaje de interfaz inspirado en algunos principios generales de la Gramática del Rol y la Referencia (GRR). Como resultado del proceso de modelado, subsunción y jerarquización, la ruta conceptual superior de la ontología se representa en la Ontología Satélite dentro de FunGramKB según el siguiente esquema: #ENTITY > #PHYSICAL > #OBJECT > #SELF_CONNECTED_OBJECT > +ARTIFICIAL_OBJECT_00 > +SUBSTANCE_00 > +SOLID_00 > +DRUG_00. [EN] This article describes some phases in the process of constructing a term-based Satellite Ontology within the architecture of the Core Ontology integrated in FunGramKB (a lexico-conceptual knowledge base for the computational processing of natural language). The semantic decomposition of complex terminology is implemented following the COHERENT methodology (a stepwise method for formalizing specialized concepts). For that purpose, we have selected the superordinate concept +DRUG_00 as well as other subordinate concepts in the domain of drugs such as METHAMPHETAMINE_00, CANNABIS00,andCANNABIS_00, and COCAINE_00. The definitions of the concepts selected for the study are based on COREL, an interface metalanguage inspired on some general principles of Role and Reference Grammar (RRG). As a result of the modeling, subsumption and hierarchization process the top conceptual path is represented in the Satellite Ontology as follows: #ENTITY > #PHYSICAL > #OBJECT > SELF_CONNECTED_OBJECT > +ARTIFICIAL_OBJECT_00 > +SUBSTANCE_00 > +SOLID_00> +DRUG_00.Este artículo forma parte del proyecto de investigación I+D+i titulado “Representación formal de una ontología sobre derecho penal y su integración en una base de conocimiento para la comprensión del lenguaje natural”, financiado en el marco del Programa Operativo FEDER Andalucía 2014-2020 (Junta de Andalucía).
