After data extraction and introspection, the resulting set of base concepts in the present study is compared with the set of Base Concepts proposed in the EuroWordNet project (Vossen et al., 1998) . In selecting a set of base concepts, our method is based on the frequencies of words used in the glosses of the Chinese Wordnet, whereas the method adopted in the EuroWordNet project is based on the relations between synsets. It is thus noted that the set of Base Concepts in EuroWordNet is not seen as de facto, but as a reference. We use the Base Concepts in EuroWordNet as our reference because on the one hand, the Chinese Wordnet and EuroWordNet both derive from the WordNet framework, and on the other hand, the set of Base Concepts from EuroWordNet is based on many European languages.

The term 'definition' would be a misnomer if it implies that word's meaning can be precisely pinned down. There are many strategies to define a word in a dictionary (Lew & Dziemianko, 2006) . The most traditional definition in a dictionary is the analytical model, i.e., the genus-differentia definition. A definition composed in this way typically consists of two elements: the genus expression that locates the definiendum in the proper semantic category, and the differentia (or plural form differentiae) that indicates the information which makes the word differ from other words of the same semantic category. For example, appraisal is defined as \"a statement or opinion judging the worth, value or condition of something\" (taken from Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English), where 'a statement or opinion' is the genus expression and the postmodifying expression 'judging the worth, value or condition of something' is the differentia. In many cases, it is not an easy task to produce a genus-differentia definition, and such a definition can be difficult for a dictionary user to understand. Another way to define a word in a dictionary is to adopt a contextual definition. A contextual definition of 'appraisal', for example, is stated as \"if you make an appraisal of something, you consider it carefully and form an opinion about it\" (taken from Collins COBUILD Advanced Dictionary of English).", "cite_spans": [ { "start": 307, "end": 331, "text": "(Lew & Dziemianko, 2006)", "ref_id": "BIBREF20" } ], "ref_spans": [], "eq_spans": [], "section": "Definitions in Lexicography", "sec_num": "3.2" }, { "text": "Our concern here is not to deal with the issue of 'what makes a good definition', or search for the underlying necessary and sufficient conditions, but to evaluate the way the principle of maximal economy is reflected in a definition sentence.

In addition, the effectiveness of dictionary definitions can be evaluated from the user's viewpoint (Cumming et al., 1994; Lew & Dziemianko, 2006) . For example, language learners have been found to prefer contextual definitions to analytical ones (Cumming et al., 1994 ).

For example, glosses are easier to understand than formal representations, so ontology developers from different fields can rely on glosses to a certain degree when they communicate. However, as Jarrar (2006) further suggests, a gloss in an ontology is not intended to provide some general comments about a concept, as a traditional definition in a dictionary does. Instead, a gloss in an ontology functions in an auxiliary manner, providing some factual knowledge that is critical to the understanding of a concept but can be difficult to formalize explicitly and logically. As a consequence, glosses in a wordnet as a lexical ontology are different from dictionary definitions. Jarrar (2006) provides some guidelines for writing a gloss in an ontology. First, an ontology gloss should start with the upper type of the concept being defined. Second, an ontology gloss should be in the form of a proposition. Third, an ontology gloss should emphasize the distinguishing features of the concept being defined. Fourth, an ontology gloss can include some examples. Fifth, an ontology gloss should be consistent with the formal representation of the concept being defined. Sixth, an ontology gloss should be sufficient and clear. Generally, the glosses in the Chinese Wordnet fulfill the above criteria.
