Synset relations
The synset relations in use in DanNet (view schemas); relevant when writing SPARQL.
Taxonomy
Relations connecting broader and narrower concepts, i.e. variations of hypernymy and hyponymy.
| wn: | hypernym | A relation between two concepts where concept A is a type of concept B |
| wn: | hyponym | A relation between two concepts where concept B is a type of concept A |
| wn: | instance hypernym | A relation between two concepts where concept B is a type of concept A, and where B is a terminal node in the hierchy |
| wn: | instance hyponym | A relation between two concepts where concept A is a type of concept B, and where B is a terminal node in the hierchy |
| dns: | ortho-hypernym | Hypernyms that are orthogonal to the taxonomy; see <https://cst.ku.dk/projekter/dannet>. |
| dns: | ortho-hyponym | Hyponyms that are orthogonal to the taxonomy; see <https://cst.ku.dk/projekter/dannet>. |
| dns: | cross-PoS hypernym | Hypernym-like relation that crosses a part-of-speech boundary. |
| dns: | cross-PoS hyponym | Hyponym-like relation that crosses a part-of-speech boundary. |
Part–whole
Relations between parts and wholes, i.e. meronymy and holonymy.
| wn: | meronym | A relation between two concepts where concept B makes up a part of concept A |
| wn: | holonym | A relation between two concepts where concept A makes up a part of concept B |
| wn: | meronym part | A relation between two concepts where concept B is a component of concept A |
| wn: | holonym part | A relation between two concepts where concept A is a component of concept B |
| wn: | meronym member | A relation between two concepts where concept B is a member/ element of concept A |
| wn: | holonym member | A relation between two concepts where concept A is a member/ element of concept B |
| wn: | meronym substance | A relation between two concepts where concept A is made of concept B |
| wn: | holonym substance | A relation between two concepts where concept B is made of concept A |
| wn: | meronym location | A relation between two concepts where concept A is a place located in concept B |
| wn: | holonym location | A relation between two concepts where concept B is a place located in concept A |
Similarity & opposition
Relations expressing similarity, opposition, or attributes.
| wn: | similar | A relation between two concepts where concept A and concept B are closely related in meaning but are not in the same synset |
| wn: | antonym | Indicates that the two terms have opposite meanings |
| dns: | near antonym | A lexical concept which is a near antonym of the subject concept; see <https://cst.ku.dk/projekter/dannet>. |
| wn: | attribute | A relation between nominal and adjectival concepts where the concept A is an attribute of concept B |
Roles, function & causality
Relations describing participant roles, function, or causal connections.
| wn: | agent | A relation between two concepts where concept A is typically the agent of the action expressed by concept B |
| wn: | involved agent | A relation between two concepts where concept B is typically the agent of the action expressed by concept A |
| wn: | patient | A relation between two concepts where concept A is the patient undergoing an action or event expressed by concept B |
| wn: | involved patient | A relation between two concepts where concept B is typically the patient un-dergoing an action or event expressed by concept A |
| wn: | result | A relation between two concepts where concept A comes into existence as a result of concept B |
| wn: | involved result | A relation between two concepts where concept B comes into existence as a result of concept A |
| wn: | co-agent instrument | A relation between two concepts where concept B is the instrument used by concept A in a certain action |
| wn: | co-instrument agent | A relation between two concepts where concept A is the instrument used by concept B for a certain action |
| dns: | used for | A lexical concept which the subject concept may be used for; see <https://cst.ku.dk/projekter/dannet>. |
| dns: | used for object | TODO; see <https://cst.ku.dk/projekter/dannet>. |
| wn: | causes | A relation between two concepts where concept B comes into existence as a result of concept A |
| wn: | is caused by | A relation between two concepts where concept A comes into existence as a result of concept B |
| wn: | entails | impose, involve, or imply as a necessary accompaniment or result |
| wn: | is entailed by | Opposite of entails |
Domain & exemplification
Relations connecting concepts to topics, regions, or examples.
| wn: | domain topic | A relation between two concepts where B is a a scientific domain (e |
| wn: | has domain topic | A relation between two concepts where A is a a scientific domain (e |
| wn: | domain region | A relation between two concepts where B is a geographical / cultural domain of concept A |
| wn: | has domain region | A relation between two concepts where A is a geographical / cultural domain of concept B |
| wn: | exemplifies | A relation between two concepts where B is a type of concept A |
| wn: | is exemplified by | A relation between two concepts where A an example of the type B |
External links
Relations connecting DanNet concepts to concepts in other datasets; these are also displayed separately on the individual synset page.
| wn: | interlingual index | links a synset to a target the Interlingual Index |
| dns: | linked concept | The outgoing link to a lexical concept/synset from its designated Interlingual Index. |
| wn: | eq synonym | A relation between two concepts where A and B are equivalent concepts but their nature requires that they remain separate (e |
| dns: | equivalent hypernym | A relation between two concepts in separate datasets where the object is a hypernym of the subject. |
| dns: | equivalent hyponym | A relation between two concepts in separate datasets where the object is a hyponym of the subject. |
| dns: | equivalent near synonym | A relation between two concepts in separate datasets where the object is similar to the subject, though not synonymous. |
