Abstract

The Multilingual Concept Dictionary is a NSFC/KOSEF joint project for natural language processing, now in its second year. The project's key feature is to merge and align various ontologies and lexical resources of East Asian languages into a compatible one, especially for Chinese, Korean and Japanese. This paper as a progress report first introduces our new knowledge representation method for ontology construction, which is called "Upper Ontology Tree" plus "Lexical Semantics N-tuples", and then analyzes the design of our dictionary framework especially the higher-level part, in which Korean and Japanese ontologies are mapped to the shared semantic hierarchy by semi-automatic methods.
