Re: MINUTES MLW-LT call 2012-07-26

Hi, Pedro,

we also talked about this distinction of lexical meaning vs. conceptual 
meaning. In order to minimize the number of distinct attributes we'd 
introduce, both are expressed with disambigIdentRef, and the distinction 
is made with a disambigType attribute with two possible values:

its:disambigType="word" means word sense disambiguation, and 
its:disambigType="entity" means concept disambiguation. Ideally, 
introducing this shouldn't be necessary, since it could be derived from 
the KB/ontology/semantic network directly, but we couldn't come up a 
good mechanism to implement that. Ideas on this part are welcome :)
