Dear all,
We are happy to announce the release of the Thesaurus of the
Bibliography of Linguistic Literature (BLL). With immediate effect, it
is available as a dataset via datahub.io for inclusion in the LLOD cloud:
https://datahub.io/dataset/bll-thesaurus
The dataset /Bibliography of Linguistic Literature (BLL) Thesaurus/
includes two differently formalized models: BLL Thesaurus (SKOS) and BLL
Ontology (OWL).
Here some background information:
The Bibliography of Linguistic Literature (BLL) is one of the most
comprehensive linguistic bibliographies worldwide which also provides a
bilingual, hierarchically organized thesaurus (BLL Thesaurus) in German
and English. The BLL Thesaurus consists of more than 7.600 subject terms
and covers the field of linguistics in its entirety: domains and
sub-domains of linguistics, levels of language description, language
identifiers, theoretical frameworks, etc.
Since 1971, the BLL Thesaurus has been continuously enhanced to cover
new areas of research and novel application scenarios. Its primary use
case continues to be the indexing of bibliographic entries, but since
2013, the BLL Thesaurus has also been applied for indexing online
resources in the context of the Linguistik portal (www.linguistik.de
<http://www.linguistik.de>). In order to develop a LOD-based search
within the portal, the thesaurus was formalized and extended with a
linking to terminological repositories in the LLOD cloud.
The BLL Thesaurus was converted into SKOS in a fully automated manner.
In the SKOS version, the original hierarchical structure and the
internal relationships are represented by means of skos:broaderand
rdfs:seeAlsorespectively. Based on the SKOS version, the BLL Ontology
was created. The BLL subject headings were manually classified and
reorganized by rigidly applying OWL/DL constraints. The class hierarchy
is expressed by rdfs:subClassOf. Currently, the BLL Ontology comprises
mainly the thesaurus branches Syntax, Morphology, Phonology and
Lexicology. A linking model between the BLL Ontology and the OLiA
Reference Model is already available. It includes 262 links.
The BLL, the BLL Thesaurus as well as the Linguistik portal are hosted
and maintained by the University Library Johann Christian Senckenberg in
Frankfurt, Germany.
