Aspects conceptuels de l’élaboration d’une ontologie de domaine sur la faune et la flore en berbère

Abstract

Based on the definition of ontology as an explicit formal description of concepts in a well determined domain, we propose to develop an ontology flora and fauna in Amazigh, enriched by lexico semantic relations defining lexical Theory Sens-Text Mel’cuk, and the notion of the context. The goal of our project is, on one hand, to improve the knowledge of the fauna and flora allowing interested people, experts or novices, to exchange information and distribute all kinds of Moroccan Amazigh areas. On the other hand, to use it in an approach of contextual and semantic detecting and extracting of information from text. Our ontology is intended to be clear and accessible to all. It allows understanding an enriched lexicon that those who speak tend to forget. We are interested, in this work, specially towards the tamazight variant (Middle Atlas Moroccan’s speech).
