Abstract

Deductive reasoning with natural language requires combining lexical resources with the world knowledge provided by ontologies. In this paper we describe the connection of FrameNet --a lexicon for English --to the Suggested Upper Merged Ontology (SUMO). We align FrameNet Semantic Types (ST) with SUMO classes, which we express in SUO-KIF, the language of SUMO. Based on this general-domain alignment, we have developed a semi-automatic, domain-specific approach for linking FrameNet Frame Elements (FE) to SUMO classes that is based on typical fillers of FEs in a particular domain. We thus provide restricted, ontology-based types on the fillers of FEs. We are confident that our basic work can improve semantic parsing and ontology lexicalization.
