<h1>About the Concepticon</h1>
118+
<p>This project is an attempt to link the very many different conceptlists (aka
119+
'Swadesh lists') that are used in the linguistic literature. In practice, we
120+
link all entries from the various concept lists to an OmegaWiki ID as an
121+
intermediate way to reference the concepts. For a technical discussion of the
122+
background of this enterprise, see <a href="http://bibliography.lingpy.org?key=Poornima2010">Poornima &amp; Good
123+
(2010)</a>. However, instead of
124+
using the detailed RDF-structure proposed there, we decided to use a few simple
125+
tables to actually collect the relevant information. Anybody who is interested
126+
in turning this information into RDF is invited to clone our <a href="http://github.com/concepticon/lists">Github
127+
Repository</a>.</p>
128+
<h1>Concept Lists</h1>
129+
<p>A <em>concept list</em> is a selection of meanings that is deemed interesting by some
130+
scholars to compare lexemes between languages. There are very many different
131+
reasons why a particular meaning might be included into such a list, and we do
132+
not have any preference here for a particular set. The only goal we have here
133+
is to link meanings that are found in more than one list, with the goal to be
134+
able to compare various datasets, collected on the basis of different
135+
conceptlists.</p>
136+
<p>In practice, we take any conceptlist, and reduce it to the main information as
137+
found in a particular source. Typically, a conceptlist will have <em>glosses</em> in
138+
one or a few widespread languages, either major scientific languages (like
139+
English, Russian, or Spanish) or major languages from the region in which the
140+
data is collected (i.e. Hausa for the Chadic list from <a href="http://bibliography.lingpy.org?key=Kraft1981">Kraft
141+
1981</a>). Furthermore, most
142+
conceptlists have some kind of <em>numerical identification (ID)</em>, sometimes
143+
simply an ordering number, which we will also include. Any other information
144+
that we consider important will also be extracted from the sources (e.g.
145+
<em>semantic field</em> from the World Loanword Database, WOLD). These files are
146+
available in the directory <em>/conceptlists/</em>. We also make PDFs with the
147+
original lists available in the directory <em>/sources/</em>.</p>
148+
<h1>Defined Meanings</h1>
149+
<p>Most importantly, to every entry in every conceptlist we add a numeric ID
150+
referring to a <em>defined meaning</em> in <a href="http://omegawiki.org">OmegaWiki</a>.
151+
Depending how you look at it, it is either very hard to define meanings, or
152+
very easy. It is very easy, because just anybody can stand up and propose
153+
whatever definition s/he wants to define in whatever way deemed interesting. It
154+
is very hard to actually come up with definitions that are useful for
155+
widespread application across many different languages. Basically, OmegaWiki
156+
takes the easy route, and just anybody can include there whatever meaning is
157+
deemed important (wiki-style open editing allowed!). We don't necessarily think
158+
that the definitions at OmegaWiki are ideal, but they are a practical start.</p>
159+
<p>We decided to not necessarily link all entries in all conceptlists, as some
160+
entries are not amenable for interoperability between conceptlists. For
161+
example, Huber (1992) includes meanings <em>my hand</em>, <em>your hand</em>, etc. which we
162+
have currently simply not linked at all. If deemed necessary, it would be
163+
trivial to add links later on.</p>
164+
<p>OmegaWiki IDs for defined meanings can be easily accessed online by using the
165+
URL
166+
<a href="/home/mattis/projects/scripts/concepticon/concepticon.github.io/index.md">http://www.omegawiki.org/DefinedMeaning:</a>
167+
plus numeric ID, e.g. for the meaning <em>air</em> with ID 106, check
168+
<a href="http://www.omegawiki.org/DefinedMeaning:106">http://www.omegawiki.org/DefinedMeaning:106</a>.</p>
169+
<h1>Concepticon</h1>
170+
<p>So, to every entry in every conceptlist we try to add a suitable link to a
171+
defined meaning in OmegaWiki. If no suitable defined meaning exists, we simply
172+
add a new one to OmegaWiki. In an attempt to make the different conceptlists
173+
interoperable, we also keep track of all Defined Meanings from OmegaWiki that
174+
we have found at least once in a conceptlist. This combined list of all
175+
currently used meanings is available in the file <a href="https://github.com/concepticon/lists/blob/master/concepticon.tsv">concepticon.tsv</a>. You can
176+
browse the concepticon <a href="browse.html">here</a>.</p>
177+
<p>The concepticon basically lists all numbers referring to OmegaWiki <em>defined
178+
meanings</em>. We also added some extra numbers to very similar meanings (<em>see
179+
also</em>), where it is sometimes unclear to us, what the difference between them
180+
is supposed to be (no criticism: OmegaWiki is a wiki after all!). We also add a
181+
rough <em>gloss</em> to each entry, but this is not supposed to be taken as the
182+
definition, just as a convenience abbreviation. More importantly, the
183+
concepticon includes the <strong>English definitions</strong> from OmegaWiki, which should
184+
give a closer definition of the actual intended meaning.</p>
185+
<p>For convenience, it also includes <em>semantic fields</em> from the <a href="http://wold.clld.org">World Loanword
186+
Database</a> (extended by us for new meanings that are not
187+
included there) and <em>parts-of-speech</em> indications. The parts-of-speech
188+
indications are not supposed to be cross-linguistically comparable (they are
189+
not!), but only a help to better identify the meaning, and as a way to order
190+
the different meanings.</p>
191+
<h1>Future Development</h1>
192+
<p>Every new conceptlist to be added will preferably be linked to the concepts
193+
already in the concepticon. When new defined meanings are necessary, these will
194+
be added to the concepticon.</p>
