DEAR-ONTO : a derivational Arabic ontology based on verbs

Belkredim, FZ; Meziane, F

Abstract

The Arabic language is a highly derivational and inflexional language in which morphology plays a significant role. However, a large number of the derivations obey a set of pre-defined rules and when applied, do not only produce a set of related words
but also associate contextual and semantic knowledge to these words. In this paper, we describe the Meta-Ontology DEAR-ONTO, A DErivational ARabic Ontology used to model the Arabic Language. The Meta-Ontology uses verbs as roots and
identifies the various classes formed by the derived words. Some of the possible applications of the DEAR-Ontology are discussed.
