Digression: Two approaches to word<br />

meaning<br />

Create a network <strong>of</strong> all possible word senses, with<br />

links between them (e.g. for hyponym, antonym).<br />

A word then has a number <strong>of</strong> these possible<br />

senses (WordNet) – this is an expensive<br />

undertaking.<br />

1. Try to decompose word senses into complex<br />

expressions involving primitive concepts (Schank,<br />

Jackend<strong>of</strong>f) – only possible in limited sense areas.<br />

In either case, the senses/concepts need to be<br />

related to domain objects (e.g. database fields)<br />
