Abstract

This chapter revisits the relation between terminologies and ontologies, focusing on those aspects that lie at the intersection of the two worlds. Terminological resources, methods and tools that follow the conceptual paradigm are analyzed to explain how close they are to ontologies. Then, current methodologies in Ontology Engineering are reviewed from a terminological perspective to highlight those aspects of terminological practice that are becoming increasingly relevant in an ontology development process. Finally, current trends and models in Ontology Engineering whose aim is to enrich ontologies with linguistic (terminological) descriptions are examined in the light of their use in Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing tools, pointing to a renewed convergence of these two worlds.
