From TBX to Ontolex-Lemon: Issues and Desiderata

The terminology community has shown a growing interest in the formats for designing and implementing multilingual terminological resources in order to favor their interoperability and reuse. In this paper, we focus specifically on two data models: TBX and Ontolex-lemon. In particular, we aim at undertaking an initial requirement analysis in order to build a converter for the latest versions of these two formats. We will focus on the theoretical and implementational implications that a transition from a concept-oriented structure (such as that of TBX) to a sense-centered organisation (such as that of Ontolex-Lemon) entails.
