Abstract
This paper is concerned with lexical enrichment of ontologies,
i.e. how to enrich a given ontology with lexical entries derived from
a semantic lexicon. We present an approach towards the integration of
both types of resources, in particular for the human anatomy domain as
represented by the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA). The paper
describes our approach on combining the FMA with WordNet by use of a
simple algorithm for domain-specific word sense disambiguation, which
selects the most likely sense for an FMA term by computing statistical
significance of synsets on a corpus of Wikipedia pages on human
anatomy. The approach is evaluated on a benchmark of 50 ambiguous
FMA terms with manually assigned WordNet synsets (i.e. senses).
