LiLa_Lemma-Bank

The LiLa Lemma Bank is the core of the LiLa Knowledge Base. It consists of a large collection of Latin lemmas, serving as the backbone to achieve interoperability between the resources, by linking all those entries in lexical resources and tokens in corpora that point to the same lemma.

Data are coded both in a relational database ( SQL format ) and in a graph database (RDF triples - Turtle format). Mapping between SQL and RDF data is made by means of D2RQ according to the mapping file provided in the 'rdf' folder.

RELATIONAL DATABASE DESCRIPTION

MariaDB gzipped dump is provided in the root folder.

Main tables

• lemmas

lemma

Each field refers to the corresponding metadata table:

 flectional_category 
 gender              
 grade               
 plurality           
 universal_pos_tag   

• hypolemmas

 ipolemma            

Field type refers to the table

ipolemmaType

Where each hypolemma type is related to an attribute set.

• Written Representations

 lemma_wr            
 ipolemma_wr         

• (hypo)lemma - hypolemma relations

lemma_ipolemma
ipolemma_ipolemma

• Lemma variants

variant_group

• Phonetic Representations

phonetic_rep

• Word Formation:

  • lemma_base
  • lemma_suffix
  • lemma_prefix

  Referred Suffixes and Prefixes are coded in tables:

  • suffix
  • prefix

  Some hypolemmas are explicitly related to suffixes too:

  • ipolemma_suffix

RDF mapping exception

All hypolemmas are mapped to RDF except the ones of type Comparative and Superlative. Comparatives (and superlatives) referred in table hypolemmaCompSup are exceptions and are thus mapped.

LemLat - LiLa Relations

Some lemmas or hypolemmas are related to one or more LemLat lemma(s):

 lemlat_lila        

Main look-up a.k.a. table

lilaLU

Materialized View putting together lemmas and hypolemmas. The three fields id_lemma,id_ipolemma0,id_ipolemma1 show the 'path' of each lemma or hypolemma according to the class:

• 0 for lemma,
• 1 for hypolemma of lemma,
• 2 for hypolemma of hypolemma

All written representations for each entry are listed in the field wrList

Views

Some support views are provided.

RDF mapping

The Relational Database is mapped to the Graph Database by means of the D2RQ platform. The mapping file is provided in the rdf folder. Triples are produced with the command:

./dump-rdf -f TURTLE -o lemmaBank lemmaBankMap.ttl

after editing the mapping file specifying the database access parameters.
