Abstract
The InferenceNet.Br is a new linguistic resource for Portuguese language knowledge bases, which follows some principles of the WordNet, ConceptNet and FrameNet. Unlike these other linguistic resources, InferenceNet.Br allows representation of more expressive relationships between concepts, permitting to characterize premises or conclusions of these relationships. However, the integration between InferenceNet.Br with other linguistic resources is not possible directly. In order to settle this problem, in this paper we present a mapping of the knowledge bases of InferenceNet.Br to the Description Logic \({\textit{DL-Lite}_{\mathcal{A}}}\), which is a fragment of OWL. As we know, OWL is a standard language designed to facilitate machine interpretability of Web content, through explicitly representation of the meaning of concepts in vocabularies and relationships between them. By doing this, we provide a connection between InferenceNet.Br and resources as WordNet and ConceptNet, since there are some efforts to link them to OWL.
