Diaterm : un modèle pour représenter l'évolution diachronique des terminologies dans le web sémantique

This paper illustrates Diaterm, a three-level model devoted to formally representing the diachronic evolution of concepts and terms in a given domain. The approach adopted is based on the reification of N-ary relations. A set of SWRL rules was introduced to perform reasoning tasks and automatically assign temporal information. Diaterm was adopted to modelling the diachronic evolution of Saussure terminology as it emerges in the Genevan linguist's corpus.
