Hi all
Hello everybody,
I think when you are working with an editor of topic maps you need
define a set of primitive roles for your particular domain, it's like
to build a thesaurus. You define your vocabulary terms and you have
defined with association, equivalence and hierarchical relationships
not only the relation between terms of your vocabulary, although you
have implied the role of one term with another because you've defined
a kind of relationship in your domain. eg: Peter is father of Henry.
The role of Peter (instance of class Person)wich you can define in
your Topic Map about members of your Parish is hierarchical and in
your Topic Map about your family you can define it like class/instance
for define a filial relationship.

Is it possible to set a set of primitive roles (in order to avoid
variations)
based on the Linguistic semantic roles?, that is:
Agent, Patient, Objetc, Source, Intrument, etc.
Teresa,
It's certainly possible to do so, but it occurs to me (given your
background) that you might want to look into using some sort of
hybrid Faceted Classification system, where all role types are
descendant classes from either an "ur" role type or simply part of
a larger ontology. The latter is the approach I've been taking. If
you like, I'd be happy to correspond with you either on- or off-list
regarding this. I've been trying to work with two FC researchers in
London, but this hasn't happened very fast (e.g., it's taken several
months to get a return on a given email).

Thank you,

Coca-Cola executives protested that they had been misunderstood
and that the drink was not just tap water but in fact the result
of a highly sophisticated process to create the purest drinking
water you can get. As far as Coke were concerned, Dasani was a
lifestyle drink, a drink you would want to be seen with, the
source was all but irrelevant.
Dasani is water, not a lifestyle drink. Gin is a lifestyle drink.
