| Abstract | Despite Arabic is the language of hundred millions of people over the world,little has been done in terms of computerized linguistic resources, tools orapplications. In this paper we describe a project which aim is to contributefilling this gap. The project consists in building an ontology centeredinfrastructure for Arabic Language resources and applications. The core of thisinfrastructure is a linguistic ontology that is founded on Arabic TraditionalGrammar. The methodology we have chosen consists in reusing an existingontology, namely the Gold linguistic ontology. GOLD is the first ontology beingdesigned for linguistic description on the semantic web. We first construct ourontology manually by relating our concepts from Arabic Linguistics to the upperconcepts of GOLD, furthermore an information extraction algorithm isimplemented to automatically enrich the ontology. We discuss the development of the ontology and present our vision for the wholeproject which aims at using this ontology for creating tools and resources forboth linguists and NLP Researchers. Indeed, the ontology is seen , not only asa domain ontology but also as a resource for different linguistic and NLPapplications. |
