Why formalizing DatCats?
 Systematizing data category description:
– Notion of Data Category Registry (DCR)
• I need a data category: is it there?
– Query by name, definition etc.
 Automatizing processes:
– Format control of TMLs
– Filters from one TML to GMT
Which model for DatCats?
 Using XML:
– Coherence with TMF principles
– Using stylesheet to generate schemas and filters
 Using RDF (Resource Description
Framework)
– Intended format for representing meta-data:
• Description of a DatCat is meta-data with regards
TMF
RDF - a quick presentation

Simple and complex DatCats
 Complex data categories
– shall serve as field identifiers (not names) in databases and
can have content. The datatype for this content shall be
declared for each data category and can commonly take
the form of different categories of text, defined data types
(such as dates), and specified data domains, e.g., picklists
comprising standardized permissible instances.
» Example: /Part of Speech/
 Simple data categories
– shall serve as the content of complex data categories.
» Example: /Noun/, /Verb/, /Adjective/ etc.

Dealing with languages
Two types of languages
 Working language
• The language used at a given place in a document,
along the XML hierarchy
• Representation: xml:lang
 Object language
• The language about which you speak at a given
place in your terminological entry (e.g. describes the
Language Section level)
• Representation: as a data category "language", with
a narrow scope
Example — DXLT
<langSet lang='en’ xml:lang="fr">
<descrip type="definition">Une valeur entre 0 et 1
utilisée...</descrip>
<tig>
<term xml:lang="en">alpha smoothing
factor</term>
<termNote type="termType">fullForm</termNote>
</tig>
</langSet>
Example — GMT
<struct type="LS" xml:lang="fr">
<feat type="language">en</feat>
<feat type="definition">Une valeur entre 0 et 1
utilisée...</feat>
<struct type="TL">
<feat type="term" xml:lang="en">alpha smoothing
factor</feat>
<feat type="termType">fullForm</feat>
</struct>
</langSet>
Conclusion
– A general model for analysing and representing
terminological data collection
– An underlying formalism expressed in
XML,RDF
– Associated tools (Salt project)
• DCSEditor,
• DCSBrowser,
• Automatic generation of XSLT filters and XML
schemas from a given TML specification
