Candidate: ........................................................ Andreas Vlachidis PhD Thesis University of Glamorgan Abstract The volume of archaeological reports being produced since the introduction of PG161 has significantly increased, as a result of the increased volume of archaeological investigations conducted by academic and commercial archaeology. It is highly desirable to be able to search effectively within and across such reports in order to find information that promotes quality research. A potential dissemination of information via semantic technologies offers the opportunity to improve archaeological practice, not only by enabling access to information but also by changing how information is structured and the way research is conducted. This thesis presents a method for automatic semantic indexing of archaeological grey- literature reports using rule-based Information Extraction techniques in combination with domain-specific ontological and terminological resources. This semantic annotation of contextual abstractions from archaeological grey-literature is driven by Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques which are used to identify “rich” meaningful pieces of text, thus overcoming barriers in document indexing and retrieval imposed by the use of natural language. The semantic annotation system (OPTIMA) performs the NLP tasks of Named Entity Recognition, Relation Extraction, Negation Detection and Word Sense disambiguation using hand-crafted rules and terminological resources for associating contextual abstractions with classes of the ISO Standard (ISO 21127:2006) CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM) for cultural heritage and its archaeological extension, CRM-EH, together with concepts from English Heritage thesauri and glossaries. The results demonstrate that the techniques can deliver semantic annotations of archaeological grey literature documents with respect to the domain conceptual models. Such semantic annotations have proven capable of supporting semantic query, document study and cross-searching via web based applications. The research outcomes have provided semantic annotations for the Semantic Technologies for Archaeological Resources (STAR) project, which explored the potential of semantic technologies in the integration of archaeological digital resources. The thesis represents the first discussion on the employment of CIDOC CRM and CRM-EH in semantic annotation of grey-literature documents using rule-based Information Extraction techniques driven by a supplementary exploitation of domain-specific ontological and terminological resources. It is anticipated that the methods can be generalised in the future to the broader field of Digital Humanities. 1 The Department of the Environment 1990 Planning Policy Guidance Note 16 (PPG16 (DoE 2010) iv Andreas Vlachidis PhD Thesis University of Glamorgan Acknowledgements I would like to wholeheartedly thank my supervisor Professor Douglas Tudhope for his true kindness, invaluable support and inspiring guidance.

  • Wreaths of Time: Perceiving the Year in Early Modern Germany (1475-1650)
    Wreaths of Time: Perceiving the Year in Early Modern Germany (1475-1650) Nicole Marie Lyon October 12, 2015 Previous Degrees: Master of Arts Degree to be conferred: PhD University of Cincinnati Department of History Dr. Sigrun Haude ii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT “Wreaths of Time” broadly explores perceptions of the year’s time in Germany during the long sixteenth century (approx. 1475-1650), an era that experienced unprecedented change with regards to the way the year was measured, reckoned and understood. Many of these changes involved the transformation of older, medieval temporal norms and habits. The Gregorian calendar reforms which began in 1582 were a prime example of the changing practices and attitudes towards the year’s time, yet this event was preceded by numerous other shifts. The gradual turn towards astronomically-based divisions between the four seasons, for example, and the use of 1 January as the civil new year affected depictions and observations of the year throughout the sixteenth century. Relying on a variety of printed cultural historical sources— especially sermons, calendars, almanacs and treatises—“Wreaths of Time” maps out the historical development and legacy of the year as a perceived temporal concept during this period. In doing so, the project bears witness to the entangled nature of human time perception in general, and early modern perceptions of the year specifically. During this period, the year was commonly perceived through three main modes: the year of the civil calendar, the year of the Church, and the year of nature, with its astronomical, agricultural and astrological cycles. As distinct as these modes were, however, they were often discussed in richly corresponding ways by early modern authors.

  • A Conceptual Dictionary of German and Spanish

(Dicionarística portuguesa 4) Theoretical and methodological foundations of the DICONALE project: a conceptual dictionary of German and Spanish Meike Meliss & Paloma Sánchez Hernández l. Introduction The research project DICONALE-online"2 concerns the development of an online dictionary of verbal lexemes, onomasiological and bilingual-bidirectional in nature, and covering the German and Spanish languages. The dictionary is intended for those who are learning German or Spanish as a foreign language at an advanced level (B2),112 113 * and as a pedagogical dictionary it is conceived especially as a resource for those actively producing texts."4 The project is a response to studies which have shown that conventional dictionaries (both monolingual and bilingual), in both print and online format, do not satisfy the specific needs of users involved in the production of texts (cf. Haß 2005, Fuentes Moran 1997: 84, Meliss 2013a, 2014c, 2oi4d). Thus, it arises from the need to fill the current gap in German-Spanish bilingual lexicography, and is intended to create a dictionary with a conceptual- onomasiological MACROSTRUCTURE which offers a more appropriate kind of help here, with the possibility of searching for forms of expression according to context, and hence differing from a traditional, alphabetic-semantic orientation from the 112 This study forms part of the following

The lexicographic meaning of lexical units formulated according to the principle of reductionism is presented in explanatory dictionaries (listing a minimum features of denotation sufficient to express its meaning). However, “when formulating the description of a word meaning a lexicographer often relies on the personal understanding of either feature of a word”, due to which “the lexical content of many words is differently described in explanatory dictionaries”. This phenomenon demonstrates the principle of plurality of metalanguage description of mental units causing the difference in meanings of the same lexical units.

  • Dictionary of Lexicography
    Dictionary of Lexicography Anyone who has ever handled a dictionary will have wondered how it was put together, where the information has come from, and how and why it can benefit so many of its users. The Dictionary of Lexicography addresses all these issues. The Dictionary of Lexicography examines both the theoretical and practical aspects of its subject, and how they are related. In the realm of dictionary research the authors highlight the history, criticism, typology, structures and use of dictionaries. They consider the subjects of data-collection and corpus technology, definition-writing and editing, presentation and publishing in relation to dictionary-making. English lexicography is the main focus of the work, but the wide range of lexicographical compilations in other cultures also features. The Dictionary gives a comprehensive overview of the current state of lexicography and all its possibilities in an interdisciplinary context. The representative literature has been included and an alphabetically arranged appendix lists all bibliographical references given in the more than 2,000 entries, which also provide examples of relevant dictionaries and other reference works. The authors have specialised in various aspects of the field and have contributed significantly to its astonishing development in recent years. Dr R.R.K.Hartmann is Director of the Dictionary Research Centre at the University of Exeter, and has founded the European Association for Lexicography and pioneered postgraduate training in the field. Dr Gregory James is Director of the Language Centre at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where he has done research into what separates and unites European and Asian lexicography.

In this respect, there is an ever-growing demand for resources that are visible, easily accessible, inter-operable and re-usable. The paper presents work in progress aimed at the development of a web service and the integration of a semantic lexical resource for Modern Greek in it, with a view to enabling robust ‘search and retrieve’ case scenarios.
