A set of translation categories is proposed here: http://purl.org/net/translation-categories In principle we consider translation categories as something "external" to lemon-ontolex as it can correspond with a particular view or translation theory.

Documentation

The translation module we propose consists essentially of two OWL classes: Translation and TranslationSet. Translation is a reification of the relation between two lemon lexical senses. The idea of using a reified class instead of a property allows us to describe some attributes of the Translation object itself. Translation will be the domain of the following OWL properties:

• translationSource and translationTarget. Their range is unrestricted. In fact, although we encourage to use lemon:LexicalSense as source and target of a Translation, it could point to a any other type of resources that represent senses, or even to the lexical entries or labels themselves (e.g., lemon:LexicalEntry, or skosxl:Label).

• translationConfidence, to assign a confidence value to the translation pair, as it is included in many multilingual resources for translators such as IATE .

• context, which is an unrestricted property intended to specify, if needed, the specific application context in which a pair of lexical senses are translation of each other.

• translationCategory, that points to an external registry of translation categories or types.

Finally, there is a class TranslationSet that is responsible of grouping a set of translations sharing certain properties. For instance, a translation set could group translations coming from the same language resource, or belonging to the same organisation, etc. We understand this class, which groups translations, as analogous to the class lemon:Lexicon that groups lexical entries. Individuals of both the Translation and TranslationSet classes can be described using the DCMI Metadata Terms vocabulary to attach valuable information about provenance, authoring, versioning, or licensing.
