Denotation Analytics (Corpus)

Denotation analytics shows what concepts what concepts are denoted by different terms across the corpus documents. This is done by aggregating results from individual ontology and argumentation model Denotation analytics together.

This is useful to determine what terminology is being used to refer to concepts, and find out what concepts are the most referenced, across the corpus.

Parameters

  • Agent. If a reference context exists and you select an agent, only the locutions of speakers linked to this agent will be taken into account.
  • Case sensitive. If you check this box, terms that differ only in case (such as "word" and "Word") are treated as different.

Results

Results are given separately for each kind of applicable dependent models (ontologies and argumentation models), plus aggregated. For each of these, results are presented as a list view plus two tree tables.

For all list views and tree tables, by default, only concepts having denotations are shown, but you can change this by using the button on the toolbar. You can also use the , and buttons on the toolbar to show or hide types, instances and non-entities, respectively.

Also, and since each dependent document in the corpus may extend the reference ontology and use concepts that are not in it, abstraction is used by the analytics to resolve the relationship of concepts in each document to the concepts in the reference ontology.

Ontologies

The total number of ontologies used by the analytics is shown at the top as "Count". Ontologies are gathered from the following sources:

  • Dependent ontologies of active documents.
Concepts

The list view shows the following columns.

  • Key and Text. These are the basic details of the concept.
  • Abstraction. This shows the relationship between the concept reference targetted by the denotation to the reported concept in the reference ontology.
  • Count. This shows the number of denotations for the concept.
Categories

The tree table shows a hierarchy of categories, with some details for each one.

For each category, the following data are shown:

  • Direct denotation count. This shows the number of denotations referring to the category itself, any of its features, a direct instance of the category, or a facet of a direct instance of the category.
  • Accumulated denotation count. This shows the number of denotations referring to the category or any sub-categories, any of their features, a direct or indirect instance of the category, or any of their facets.

The tree table is organised according to the super-typing hierarchy in the embedded ontology.

Terms

The tree table shows a hierarchy of concept references and terms, with some details for each one.

For each term, the following data are shown:

  • Denotation count. This shows the number of denotations using the term for the associated concept reference.
Argumentation models

The total number of argumentation models used by the analytics is shown at the top as "Count". Argumentation models are gathered from the following sources:

  • Dependent argumentation models of active documents.
Concepts

The list view shows the following columns.

  • Key and Text. These are the basic details of the concept.
  • Abstraction. This shows the relationship between the concept reference targetted by the denotation to the reported concept in the reference ontology.
  • Count. This shows the number of denotations for the concept.
Categories

The tree table shows a hierarchy of categories, with some details for each one.

For each category, the following data are shown:

  • Direct denotation count. This shows the number of denotations referring to the category itself, any of its features, a direct instance of the category, or a facet of a direct instance of the category.
  • Accumulated denotation count. This shows the number of denotations referring to the category or any sub-categories, any of their features, a direct or indirect instance of the category, or any of their facets.

The tree table is organised according to the super-typing hierarchy in the embedded ontology.

Terms

The tree table shows a hierarchy of concept references and terms, with some details for each one.

For each term, the following data are shown:

  • Denotation count. This shows the number of denotations using the term for the associated concept reference.
