[NLP2RDF] Merging of the NIF Core Ontology and FISE from Apache Stanbol (and some other news)

[Rupert Westenthaler]

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for all your effort Sebastian!

Sorry for my late response, but I am traveling this and the next week.
So I do not have enough time to properly look into this. At least I
had the change to have a look at the mappings [4]. I will try to
provide some initial feedback with this mail.


### The fise:entity-label

regarding the comment:

# ??? not sure about fise:entity-label
# This should be dbpedia:London rdfs:label "London"@en ;
#
# fise:entity-label
#    a owl:DatatypeProperty ;
#    rdfs:comment "the label(s) of the referenced Entity"@en ;
#    rdfs:domain :EntityAnnotation .


This property is intended to hold the label of the entity that best
matched the mention in the text. It is not always the case that this
will be the rdfs:label. This depends on the ontology used by suggested
Entity. Labels might also come from multiple properties (e.g. in the
case of SKOS where both skos:prefLabel, skos:altLabel do hold label
information)

In addition the fise:entity-type and fise:entity-label values are
intended to be used for visualization purposes in cases where the
client does not dereference the linked (fise:entity-reference) entity.


### None FISE namespace properties

I would also like to mention that the Stanbol Enhancement Structure
also uses some DC Type properties (e.g. fise:EntityAnntoation do use
dot:relation to link to the fise:TextAnnotation) (see [9] for a figure
and [10] for the full documentation). AFAIU those none fise namespace
properties are not included in the current mapping.

best
Rupert
