ISO 16642 - a tutorialPart 2 Representing data
categories

• TMF - Terminological Markup Framework
• Laurent Romary - Laboratoire Loria

2
Why formalizing DatCats?

• Systematizing data category description
• Notion of Data Category Registry (DCR)
• I need a data category is it there?
• Query by name, definition etc.
• Automatizing processes
• Format control of TMLs
• Filters from one TML to GMT

3
Which model for DatCats?

• Using XML
• Coherence with TMF principles
• Using stylesheet to generate schemas and filters
• Using RDF (Resource Description Framework)
• Intended format for representing meta-data
• Description of a DatCat is meta-data with regards
  TMF

Simple and complex DatCats

• Complex data categories
• shall serve as field identifiers (not names) in
  databases and can have content. The datatype for
  this content shall be declared for each data
  category and can commonly take the form of
  different categories of text, defined data types
  (such as dates), and specified data domains,
  e.g., picklists comprising standardized
  permissible instances.
• Example /Part of Speech/
• Simple data categories
• shall serve as the content of complex data
  categories.
• Example /Noun/, /Verb/, /Adjective/ etc.

Dealing with languages
25
Two types of languages

• Working language
• The language used at a given place in a document,
  along the XML hierarchy
• Representation xmllang
• Object language
• The language about which you speak at a given
  place in your terminological entry (e.g.
  describes the Language Section level)
• Representation as a data category "language",
  with a narrow scope

26
Example  DXLT

• ltlangSet lang'en xmllang"fr"gt
• ltdescrip type"definition"gtUne valeur entre 0 et
  1 utilisée...lt/descripgt
• lttiggt
• ltterm xmllang"en"gtalpha smoothing

• lttermNote type"termType"gtfullFormlt/termNotegt

Conclusion

• A general model for analysing and representing
  terminological data collection
• An underlying formalism expressed in XML,RDF
• Associated tools (Salt project)
• DCSEditor,
• DCSBrowser,
• Automatic generation of XSLT filters and XML
  schemas from a given TML specification
