Abstract
We investigate the benefits that can result from
the formal representation of linguistic and semantic
features of natural language expressions
that are used as terms in labels of knowledge
representation systems, like taxonomies
and ontologies. We show that such a representation
can support Human Language Technologies
and Semantic Web applications, especially
in the context of ontology-based information
extraction, since it gives a basis for
specifying mapping strategies between the restricted
natural language used in taxonomies
and ontologies and the unrestricted language
used in documents processed by information
extraction or semantic annotation tools.
