I will try to work this out for the workshop in two ways. First of all,
there is our paper for LREC/ Granada which discusses hyponymy from different
perspectives (ontologies and wordnets), secondly, I will try to broaden the
issue to the interface between the lexicon and the ontology in general. This
will include questions such as the ones you suggest above.
