Proposta de aplicação do modelo de classes de objeto para a construção de uma ontologia do domínio do futebol

Abstract

This work aimed at developing an ontology of the football domain based on the model of classes of objects proposed by Gaston Gross (1994). The construction of an ontology in general follows a methodology based on the semantic tradition through which conceptual classes are established according to the conceiver‟s judgment. The proposal of this study was to arrive at semantic classes through the application of syntactic criteria which may be reproduced by other researchers. In order to do that, we use the theory proposed on Harris (1976), who considers the sentence as the minimal unit of meaning and a grammar of operators and arguments. The classes of objects are semantic classes selected from the argumental restrictions of each predicate.
