Abstract: “The paper presents a model of lexical ontology, based on SBVR representations, which is related to domain ontology used for semantic search in Lithuanian Internet corpus. The advantage of using SBVR based lexical ontology is the support of various relations among different types of meanings and representations, considering phrases instead of single words, and possibility of transformations to (and from) ontologies. We make an assumption that such ontology model is capable to encompass features contained in current lexical ontologies, and may be used in semantic search and Natural Language Processing techniques.”
