Zusammenfassung

Contemporary research has focused on how concepts are represented and organized in the mind, leading to neurocognitive theories such as grounded cognition or embodied cognition. These theories have greatly influenced further studies in linguistics and terminology. In this way, conceptualization, categorization, and knowledge organization are the foundation of cognitive-oriented terminology theories which highlight the relevance of situated knowledge structures, such as Frame-based Terminology. Accordingly, the practical application of Frame-based Terminology is EcoLexicon, a dynamic terminological knowledge base on environmental science. Concepts in this terminological resource are domain-specific within the Environmental Event, a model that interrelates concepts by assigning them different roles. However, the Environmental Event does not include specific category types to annotate these concepts ontologically. Therefore, this paper presents a process of ontological knowledge enhancement in EcoLexicon. This process was mainly based on the categorization of its concepts in semantic classes with a multidimensional approach. As a result, EcoLexicon was ontologically enhanced not only in terms of this categorization, but also through a redesign of the conceptual categories module, which involved modifying the existing category hierarchy and implementing new features focused on describing the combinatorial potential of concepts and categories (i.e. the conceptual combinations function and the ontological view).
