In this paper we argue why it is necessary to associate linguistic
information with ontologies and why more expressive models, beyond
RDFS, OWL and SKOS, are needed to capture the relation between natural
language constructs on the one hand and ontological entities on the
other. We argue that in the light of tasks such as ontology-based
information extraction, ontology learning and population from text
and natural language generation from ontologies, currently available
datamodels are not sufficient as they only allow to associate atomic
terms without linguistic grounding or structure to ontology elements.
Towards realizing a more expressive model for associating linguistic
information to ontology elements, we base our work presented here
on previously developed models (LingInfo, LexOnto, LMF) and present
a new joint model for linguistic grounding of ontologies called LexInfo.
LexInfo combines essential design aspects of LingInfo and LexOnto
and builds on a sound model for representing computational lexica
called LMF which has been recently approved as a standard under ISO.
