These are [[Elexifinder]] main categories, i.e. top-level concepts. Two narrower-levels below each facet are also considered as (visible) [[Elexifinder]] categories, while concepts deeper in the hierarchy are used alike in article indexation. | ||
The definition of LexVoc facets is semantically more correct than simply linking top-level concepts to the [[Item:Q1|root node “Lexicography”]] using [[Property:P72|"skos:broader"]] (as it had been done in previous versions of LexVoc), since the top-level concepts do represent different facets or "lenses" rather than narrower terms of "Lexicography". Furthermore, this model not only offers a straightforward way to define Elexifinder main categories, but also paves the ground for defining properties defining dictionary content. A lexical-conceptual resource (such as a dictionary) can be indexed with properties resembling the different facets, and having each one a defined value range that consists of the narrower terms of the corresponding facet. For example, a dictionary may be indexed using [[Property:P90|"dictionary scope"]] property with any value defined as narrower term of facet [[Item:Q16094|"dictionary scope"]]. The definition of facets has been done with this goal in mind; accordingly, [[Item:Q16014|"dictionary linguality"]] has been taken out of "dictionary scope" and defined as a facet on its own, so that its narrowers can serve as range for property [[Property:P115|"linguality type"]], and so on.
