Comparisons of Terminological and Ontological Analyses

This document discusses a number of experiments that were set up in order to calculate and compare the number of terms and roles extracted by CVC and STAR Lab VUB from the European Sixth Directive on VAT (77/388/EEC). Next we present the Applied Knowledge Engineering Methodology (AKEM) in which both terminographers and ontology engineers collaborate in the development process of multilingual ontologies. The report shows how CVC has been able to isolate from texts certain knowledge patterns that are important in this development process.
