4. Yami Fish Ontology
• 109 Yami fish with Chinese, English, and Latin name
• Toolbox Lexique Pro Protégé
• “Ontology 101 development process” by Noy and McGuinness (2001)
![Page 17: D. Victoria Rau, Wheaton College, U.S.A. Meng-Chien Yang, Providence University, Taiwan](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681592b550346895dc6544e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
4.1 Yami Fish Names
• Motivation– Finding the perspective and semantics of Y
ami fish names– Reinterpreting the fish classification of Yam
i– Constructing the indigenous knowledge of f
ish
![Page 18: D. Victoria Rau, Wheaton College, U.S.A. Meng-Chien Yang, Providence University, Taiwan](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681592b550346895dc6544e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
4.2 Methodology
• 7 steps of constructing the ontology from “Ontology 101 development process” by Noy and McGuinness (2001)
• 7 steps:1. Determine the domain and scope of the ontology
2. Consider reusing existing ontology
3. Enumerate important terms in the ontology
4. Define classes and the class hierarchy
5. & 6. Define the properties of classes and define the facets of the slots
7. Create instances
![Page 19: D. Victoria Rau, Wheaton College, U.S.A. Meng-Chien Yang, Providence University, Taiwan](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681592b550346895dc6544e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
(1) Determine the domain and scope of the ontology
1. Which fish are edible and inedible for Yami people?
2. Which gender can eat what kind of fish?
3. What kind of fish can be eaten by Yami elderly males?
4. What kind of fish can Yami pregnant women eat?
![Page 20: D. Victoria Rau, Wheaton College, U.S.A. Meng-Chien Yang, Providence University, Taiwan](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681592b550346895dc6544e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
(2) Consider reusing existing ontologies
The Fish Database of Taiwan (http://fishdb.sinica.edu.tw/ )
(3) Enumerate important terms in the ontology (a) classification of Yami fish: anito “inedible fish”;
types of edible fish: raet “fish for men”, oyod “fish for women”,
kakanen no rarakeh “fish for old men”;
(b) named Yami fish, such as ilek “rudderfish”, cilat “jackfish”;
(c) Yami people: men, women, and old men;
(d) women of three stages: not pregnant, pregnant, and breast feeding
![Page 21: D. Victoria Rau, Wheaton College, U.S.A. Meng-Chien Yang, Providence University, Taiwan](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681592b550346895dc6544e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
(4) Define classes and the class hierarchy
Yami fish
Yami people
oyod a among
raet a among
kakanen no rarakeh
among no anito
Men +(can eat)
+ - -
Women + - (cannot eat)
- -
Old men + + + -
• The classification of Yami fish

(5) & (6) Define the properties of classes and slots
and define the facets of the slots
The object properties The datatype properties

(7) Create instances (individuals)
• An Example of a class editor

4.4 Limitations and future research
(1) selection of a text on a semantic domain
(2) reconstruction of the IK by building a network relationship of the semantic domain independently by both the linguist and the language activist to achieve high reliability
(3) transformation of the final diagram of the network relationship into the Protégé.

5. Conclusion
• The trinitarian model of developing three Yami online dictionaries
• A wiki dictionary
• An ontology of Yami fish names, with the goal of building a collective knowledge system for the Yami language
• Ongoing project 1. An online encyclopedia in Yami 2. The semantic infrastructure of the Yami language
