Initially being meant for LOD-ification of publication metadata, LexBib ontology is now being further developed, so that conceptual-lexical resources (LCR) such as dictionaries can be represented, linked to other LCR through a defined set of properties, and linked to the bibliographical items or other types of distribution that embody them.

[[LexMeta]] is the working title of a metadata model for lexical resources.


We follow the three-level entity hierarchy for the representation of artistic or creative endavour proposed in the [https://vocab.org/frbr/core FRBR ontology], widely used in libraries, which we map to the two-level hierarchy for the representation of LCR metadata proposed in [https://github.com/ld4lt/metashare/blob/dev/metashare.owl Metashare], from where we inherit the terminology, and the definitions. These hierarchy levels, expressed as classes, are the following:

LexBib now contains reference to 8000+ dictionaries imported from the [https://glottolog.org/langdoc Glottolog Bibliography] (items with doctype "Dictionary"). These are represented as LCR (class [[Item:Q4|Q4]]), and their entity data contains information about "[[Property:P122|metalanguage]]" (language the resource has been published) and "[[Property:P56|object language]]" (language(s) described in the dictionary), as listed on Glottolog. For Glottolog, that indexation of LCR with languages has been produced computationally using legacy indexations, item titles, etc. ([https://glottolog.org/meta/glossary#sec-computerizedassignment reference]), and is not perfect. Besides (frequent) gaps and (infrequent) errors, for bilingual or multilingual dictionaries, the languages represented as "metalanguage" and "object language" are actually a "target language" and/or a "source language". We are ready to start to update these relations manually. Long-term aim is to correct the indexation, and to represent LCR languages for bilingual or multilingual dictionaries as "source language" and/or "target language".

The entity Schemata for LexBib LCR and LCR Distributions are aligned to those of the corresponding FRBR and Metashare classes (in other words, the LexBib class is a subclass of both). This has several implications:
* Properties that describe LCR content are attached to items of class [[Item:Q4|LexicalConceptualResource]].
* Properties that describe the LCR distribution, e.g. a physical dictionay in book form, or an electronic dictionary in a dictionary web portal or as downloadable dataset, are attached to [[Item:Q24|LCR Distribution]] items.
* [[Item:Q24|LCR Distribution]] items, when they have publication metadata as books have, are [[LexBib Zotero]] items, i.e. in LexBib wikibase, members of class [[Item:Q3|LexBib BibItem]]. This applies mainly for book publications, and distributions on CD-ROM. But also online electronic dictionaries are collected in library information systems and can have publication metadata, and can exist as [[LexBib Zotero]] items. Publication metadata properties are described in the [http://bibliontology.com/ BIBO ontology] ([http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/ RDF]), and Zotero item data fields map to BIBO.
* A dictionary with the same contents in printed form, on CD-ROM, available in a mobile app, or downloadable in different serialization formats (XML, JSON, etc.) will be represented as the same resource ([[Item:Q4|LexicalConceptualResource]]) with different distributions ([[Item:Q24|LCR Distribution]]).
* Different versions, editions, conversions, summaries, etc., of a lexicographic work will be represented as different [[Item:Q4|LexicalConceptualResource]] items, being able to describe relations between these using properties defined in Metashare.

Dictionaries in LexBib

Initially being meant for LOD-ification of publication metadata, LexBib ontology is now being further developed, so that conceptual-lexical resources (LCR) such as dictionaries can be represented, linked to other LCR through a defined set of properties, and linked to the bibliographical items or other types of distribution that embody them. LexMeta is the working title of a metadata model for lexical resources.

Glottolog Dictionaries

LexBib now contains reference to 8000+ dictionaries imported from the Glottolog Bibliography (items with doctype "Dictionary"). These are represented as LCR (class Q4), and their entity data contains information about "metalanguage" (language the resource has been published) and "object language" (language(s) described in the dictionary), as listed on Glottolog. For Glottolog, that indexation of LCR with languages has been produced computationally using legacy indexations, item titles, etc. (reference), and is not perfect. Besides (frequent) gaps and (infrequent) errors, for bilingual or multilingual dictionaries, the languages represented as "metalanguage" and "object language" are actually a "target language" and/or a "source language". We are ready to start to update these relations manually. Long-term aim is to correct the indexation, and to represent LCR languages for bilingual or multilingual dictionaries as "source language" and/or "target language".
