Re: ld4lt-ISSUE-4 (terminology): Terminology and linked data

Dear all,

  as a further input to this discussion, I would like to mention that 
Victor Rodríguez Doncel from UPM and myself have been working on an 
ontology and convertor from TBX data to RDF, based on several standard 
vocabularies including the non-yet releases ontolex model.

We are not finished, but I think that this is the right moment to 
disclose this work calling for comments and input.

So far, we have developed the following:

- a TBX ontology, aligned to the TBX data model (attached, not yet 
completely finished)
- a conversion to RDF of TBX documents, hosted as a GIT project:

https://vroddon@bitbucket.org/vroddon/tbx2rdf.git


- a web service to perform this available here:

http://tbx2rdf.appspot.com/


- a document describing the conversion (attached).

Feedback on all of the items is more than welcome.

And a call to everyone: if anyone has "open" TBX documents that we could 
use to test the service and provide open examples of input and output 
that would be a great contribution!

Thanks for your comments,

Philipp and Victor
