ISO a tutorial Part 2: Representing data categories TMF - Terminological Markup Framework Laurent Romary - Laboratoire Loria

Why formalizing DatCats? 4 Systematizing data category description: –Notion of Data Category Registry (DCR) I need a data category: is it there? –Query by name, definition etc. 4 Automatizing processes: –Format control of TMLs –Filters from one TML to GMT

Which model for DatCats? 4 Using XML: –Coherence with TMF principles –Using stylesheet to generate schemas and filters 4 Using RDF (Resource Description Framework) –Intended format for representing meta-data: Description of a DatCat is meta-data with regards TMF

RDF - a quick presentation Cf. other file

Simple and complex DatCats 4 Complex data categories –shall serve as field identifiers (not names) in databases and can have content. The datatype for this content shall be declared for each data category and can commonly take the form of different categories of text, defined data types (such as dates), and specified data domains, e.g., picklists comprising standardized permissible instances. »Example: /Part of Speech/ 4 Simple data categories – shall serve as the content of complex data categories. »Example: /Noun/, /Verb/, /Adjective/ etc.

Dealing with languages

Two types of languages 4 Working language The language used at a given place in a document, along the XML hierarchy Representation: xml:lang 4 Object language The language about which you speak at a given place in your terminological entry (e.g. describes the Language Section level) Representation: as a data category "language", with a narrow scope

Example — DXLT Une valeur entre 0 et 1 utilisée... alpha smoothing factor fullForm

Example — GMT en Une valeur entre 0 et 1 utilisée... alpha smoothing factor fullForm
