Introduction
As human linguistic practice reveals, accessing to concepts through natural language is the implicit pathway for enabling mutual
comprehension and effective meaning negotiation between agents in a community. We need more than a shared dictionary, in order
to exchange knowledge: we need to share the "conceptual models underlying the lexicon", namely ontologies. These remarks become
even more crucial when focusing on human-computer interaction. In this context, computational ontologies and human-language technologies
converge in the task of providing the semantic description of knowledge contents (e.g. multimedia, Web resources, etc.): underlying
intended models need to be made explicit in order to become accessible by artificial agents and sharable with humans.
According to this picture, 1) computational lexicons, whose aim is to make lexical-content machine-understandable, constitute a
fundamental component to foster the linguistic access to any knowledge content; 2) computational ontologies, on the other side, are
necessary to capture the logical structure of those knowledge contents: both contribute to dig out the basic elements of a given semantic
space (domain-dependent or general), characterizing the different relations holding among them.
