Introduction
Alles was überhaupt gedacht werden kann, kann klar gedacht werden.
Alles, was sich aussprechen lässt, lässt sich klar aussprechen.
Everything that can be thought at all can be thought clearly. Everything that can be said can be said clearly.
Ludwig WittgensteinTractatus logico-philosophicus, 4.116

Correct and precise communication
How can we communicate
precise and correct?
Correct is correct only in the correct context
Precise is precise onlyunder precise conditions
How can we communicate

Monosemy through ontologies
Only systemic connections enable monosemy!

iglos relation types
Various relations, e.g.
super- and subordinates
synonyms
translations
part/whole relations
sequences of production
chronological orders
inheritance
instantiations
functions
hierarchies

iglos terminology system
Relating lexemes creates a terminological system
Lexemes are part of a highly linked language structure
Since:
Monosemy is only enabled by
systemic connections!

Attribute hierarchies
To make the definition of a lexeme quantifiable it can be expanded by attribute hierarchies
Attribute hierarchies are based on semantic feature theory
They allow for lexeme comparability based on numerical values
