A Categorisation Framework Editor for Constructing Ontologically underpinned Terminological Resources

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference paper

Abstract

In this article we describe the Categorisation Framework Editor (CFE), a software tool to construct ontologically underpinned terminological resources. The CFE supports the Termontography-methodology which is a multidisplinary approach in which theories and methods for multilingual terminological analysis of sociocognitive theory (Temmerman, 2000) are combined with methods and guidelines for ontology engineering. A clear distinction is made between conceptual modelling at a language-independent level and a language-specific analysis of units of understanding. The data structure used to store the terminological information we call a Categorisation Framework and this structure will also be described in this article. Since the CFE was developed during the PoCeHRMOM-project, we will illustrate the use of the CFE with examples from this project. During the PoCeHRMOM-project an online platform, named Profile Compiler, was developed on which companies and organisations could create job profiles. A job profile typically contains a list of required competencies and qualifications, together with a list of tasks a job candidate should be able to carry out. The CFE was used to develop the ontologically structured multilingual (EN, FR, NL) terminological database for the project.
