Enhancing Publication Description with Resources Metadata

In this paper, we suggest to increase the quality and the precision of a document description using publication’s context description. Today, a lot of linguistic resources are both available on line and described by specific metadata. We first integrate them into an ontology which describes how linguists consider their primary data and tools. Then, we add to this ontology an inference system based on the information flow theory in order to establish causal relations between heterogeneous data. The result of the inference is characterized by a small set of properties which are embedded into three sequences of metadata enhancing the usual metadata describing publications.
