Abstract

The ontological coverage of technical artefacts in terminography should take into account a functional representation of conceptual information. We present a model for a function-based description which enables direct interfacing of ontological properties and terminology, and which was developed in the context of a project on term variation in technical texts. Starting from related research in the field of knowledge engineering, we introduce the components of the ontological function macrocategory and discuss the implementation of the model in lemon.
