| Ontology Reduction - already underway under OntoBank project (ISI) | IAMTC |
At ISI we have two student-level workers (one Linguistics grad student, one well-trained undergrad on vacation from Penn) working on this full-time. A few people at Penn are also doing this. (The annotators, in addition, are all at Penn.)
The methodology is as follows:
The tempo is still slow -- about 20 words a week -- but is expected to pick up to several hundred words a week, ending with essentially all after 6 months (if the funding continues).
Bottom line: ontology reduction is being done more or less along the lines we'd like it for IAMTC for free!
