Simple-Clips ongoing research: more information with less data by implementing inheritance Del Gratta Riccardo Ruimy Nilda Toral Antonio DEL GRATTA, Riccardo Ruimy, Nilda Toral, Antonio Lexicon Knowle Lexical database This paper presents the application of inheritance to the formal taxonomy (is-a) of a semantically rich Lexical Resource (LR) based on the Generative Lexicon theory, SIMPLE-CLIPS. The aim is to lighten the representation of its semantic layer by reducing the number of encoded relations. A prediction calculation on the impact of introducing inheritance as regards space occupancy is carried out, which yields a significant space reduction of 22%. This is corroborated by its actual application that reduces the number of explicitly encoded relations in this lexicon by 18.4%. Later on, we study the issues that inheritance poses to the Lexical Resources and discuss sensitive solutions, illustrated by examples, to tackle each of them. Finally, we present a discussion on the application of inheritance, from which two advantages arise: consistency enhancement and inference capabilities. 2008 info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14243/65102 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/isbn/2-9517408-4-0 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/wos/WOS:000324028902078 eng ispartofbook:LREC 2008, Sixth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation LREC 2008, Sixth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation firstpage:2380 lastpage:2385 numberofpages:6 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess license:Creative commons license uri:http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/
