In-Depth Information
As has already been mentioned on many occasions, every sequence is defined by
at least two if not several conceptual schemas of definition. Figure 16.5 shows how a
given sequence of description is defined, in our case
via
the interface of the
OntoEditor
tool in the ASW Modeling Workshop, by identifying the appropriate
canonic pair of schemas of definition.
Figure16.6.

In our case, the sequence
First: Description of the main theme
(which is part of
the macro-sequence
Analysis“Interculturaldynamic”
) is thus defined:
‒
by a
conceptual schema
specifying the
appropriate analytical objects
(see Figure 16.5, on the right, which shows the shortcut to the schema
Choice of the
appropriateCT(s)
); and
‒
by a
conceptualschema
specifying the
procedureofdescription
which, here, is
free description*
in its simplified form (that is, the analyst only has to fill in
one
field of indexation - that of the minimal expression; see Chapter 14 for further
information).
Figure 16.6 illustrates the process of integration of a sequence (in our case, a
macro-sequence) into a specific model of thematic description. In our case, the
macro-sequence
Analysis “Intercultural dynamic”
is integrated with four other
macro-sequences to form model of content description
Subject “Intercultural
dynamics”
:
‒
the first macro-sequence in question here serves to explicitize (describing,
interpreting) a fact considered (by the analyst, the author of the analyzed text, etc.)
as representing a concrete case of the intercultural dynamic;
