What is ISO 24613-1- The core model of lexical markup framework (LMF) about?
ISO 24613 is an international standard on language resource management that discusses lexical markup framework (LMF). ISO 24613-1 provides the best industry guidance on the core model of lexical markup framework (LMF).
ISO 24613-1 is the first part of a multi-part series that describes the core model of the lexical markup framework (LMF)l, a metamodel for representing data in monolingual and multilingual lexical databases used with computer applications.
Under ISO 24613-1 LMF provides mechanisms that allow the development and integration of a variety of electronic lexical resource types.
Who is ISO 24613-1- The core model of LMF for?
ISO 24613-1 on core model of Lexical markup framework (LMF) is useful for:
- LMF framework developer
- LMF language designer
- Language resource management department
Why should you use ISO 24613-1- The core model of LMF?
Optimizing the production, maintenance and extension of electronic lexical resources is one of the crucial aspects impacting human language technologies (HLT) in general and natural language processing (NLP) in particular, as well as human-oriented translation technologies. A second crucial aspect involves optimizing the process leading to their integration in applications. Lexical markup framework (LMF) is an abstract metamodel that provides a common, standardized framework for the construction of computational lexicons.
The core model of LMF under ISO 24613-1 ensures the encoding of linguistic information in a way that enables reusability in different applications and for different tasks and provides a common, shared representation of lexical objects, including morphological, syntactic and semantic aspects.
ISO 24613-1 assist in creating a common model for the creation and use of electronic lexical resources ranging from small to large in scale, to manage the exchange of data between and among these resources, and to facilitate the merging of large numbers of different individual electronic resources to form extensive global electronic resources. The ultimate goal of LMF under ISO 24613-1 is to create a modular structure that can facilitate true content interoperability across all aspects of electronic lexical resources.
LMF parts expressed in a framework under ISO 24613-1 assist in the reuse of the LMF core components in conjunction with the additional components required for a specific resource.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS ISO 24613-1:2019 together with BS ISO 24613‑2, BS ISO 24613‑3, BS ISO 24613‑4 and BS ISO 24613‑5 supersedes BS ISO 24613:2008, which is withdrawn. BS ISO 24613-1:2019 has made some technical changes compared to BS ISO 24613:2008. These include:
- The Representation class has been renamed the Orthographic Representation class.
- The Lexical Entry subclass now allows subclasses, providing improved extensibility and flexibility for modeling future parts
- The addition of the CrossREF class and associated metadata provides a formal model for cross-reference design and implementation, closing a functional gap in the previous edition.
- A thoroughly revised description of data category allocation mechanisms and their relationship to generalization by typing provides a more incisive description of how these interdependent mechanisms enable flexible and extensible designs
