"text": "Oil & Gas Exploration and Production companies annually invest billions of dollars gathering documents such as reports, scientific articles, business intelligence articles and so on. These documents are the main base for major decisions such as whether to drill exploratory wells, bid or buy, production schedules and risk assessments (Rademaker, 2018) . However, most of the processing of this fundamental data is still done by human professionals actually reading it rather than by a computational system. Considering that this unstructured data is growing exponentially, management of such data and finding relevant content quickly has become one of companies and professionals most critical challenges (Antoniak et al., 201 6; Schoen et al., 2018) . Even though Natural Language Processing (NLP) has significantly advanced over the past years, the specific domain of Oil & Gas has its own challenges, some of them presented in (Rademaker, 2018) . Assessing geosciences papers one can notice that among the most common properties raised are usually geographic location (Palkowsky, 2005) , geological time and lithological information. In a previous work (Rademaker et al., 2019) we addressed some of the issues regarding geological time. In this work we approach the lithological information aspect. Section 2. gives a brief description of similar projects. Section 3. present our authoritative source for terms and definitions. Section 4. shows our platform of choice for extending the WordNet. In section 5. we present and discuss the proposed changes. In section 6. we raise some relevant and recurrent issues we faced and the reasoning supporting our decisions. Section 7. presents some comparative statistics over a given corpus processed both with the original WordNet and our extended version. Section 8. sums up the results and points to future works.",

"text": "Princeton WordNet (PWN) (Fellbaum, 1998a) does not cover many terms and concepts specific to certain domains as pointed out by (Buitelaar and Sacaleanu, 2002) , hence the need to expand PWN for each domain in order to tap into its potential as a NLP resource (Amaro and Mendes, 2012) . WordNet extensions for specific domains are relatively common. Medical WordNet (MWN) (Smith and Fellbaum, 2004) reviews PWN medical terms through a corpus which includes a validated corpus of sentences involving specific medically relevant vocabulary. The corpus is composed by the definitions of medical terms already existing in WordNet, sentences generated via the semantic relations in PWN and sentences derived from online medical information services targeted to consumers. BioWN (Poprat et al., 2008) was another attempt to extend WN to the biomedical domain from the Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO). OBO would provide terms, definitions and relations to be included in WN. According to the authors, the attempt failed due to issues on several softwares and resources that eventually prevented the success of the initiative. (Buitelaar and Sacaleanu, 2002) leans on German's compositional aspect to extend GermaNET with medical terms. The relevance of the candidate terms is then measured in a given domain corpora. Roughly the definitions arise from the compositional rule used to build the term in the first place. In the legal domain, JurWN (Sagri et al., 2004) builds upon the Italian ItalWordNet (IWN) database, aiming to extend it to the legal domain. IWN (Roventini et al., 2003) is the Italian component of the EuroWordNet (Vossen, 2002) . Words were selected from frequent terms used in queries of the major legal information retrieval systems, while definitions were taken from handbooks, dictionaries, legal encyclopedias and other main technical concepts. The LOIS (Lexical Ontologies for legal Information Sharing) project (Peters et al., 2006) encompass legal WordNets for six different languages (Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, German, Czech, English) based on the EuroWordNet framework. It used a subset of JurWN as a seed and added new terms on the basis of authoritative resources, national and EU legislative text and legal text. GeoNames WordNet (GNWN) (Bond and Bond, 2019) links the GeoNames 1 geographical database to wordnets in different languages. GeoNames provides both the terms and definitions to be included in GNWN as an instance of a given synset (e.g.: Paris as an instance of city). Noticeable from all these initiatives is the approach consid-ered to extend a wordnet to a given domain. Some refer to a corpus (custom built or pre-existing material) to gather a list of words to include in the wordnet, and then to an authoritative material such as dictionaries and encyclopedias for the definitions. Others refer to authoritative material that have both terms and definitions, such as ontologies.",

"text": "The Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE) (Parliament and of the Council, 2007) was created to build upon existing resources (infrastructure and data) of the Member States. The original focus is to support EU policies and activities which may have an impact on the environment. Particularly within the scope of this work, Inspire offers an organized codelist for lithology 2 . This resource is actually maintained by the Geological Survey of Austria (Geologische Bundesanstalt) within its \"GBA Thesaurus\" (GBA). Regarding lithology, GBA presents a richer material than Inspire, all accessible online 3 and available for download 4 . GBA is an ontology based on the Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) vocabulary (Isaac and Summers, 2009) . Each term has a Universal Resource Identifier (URI) and is related to other terms via SKOS object properties. Within the scope of our work, we have broader and its counterpart narrower. Therefore, \"mammal has broader animal\" and \"animal has narrower mammal\". GBA follows SKOS convention to only assert direct hierarchical links. The name of the term is given by prefLabel data property, while the definition is given by definition data property. String values are given in English as well as in German. GBA uses a few other SKOS properties like related match, close match, hidden label and others. Particularly exact match is used to map GBA to other resources, INSPIRE included. The downloadable material for GBA is a Resource Description Framework 5 (RDF) file, which means it is organized in triples consisting of subject, predicate and object. At its description, GBA states that Lithology comprises loose-and bed-rock, classified according to their modal composition and grain size, respectively. Magmatic-, polygenetic-, metamorphic-and fault-rocks are classified based on International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) recommendations 6 . Sedimentary rocks classifications refer to international standards.

"text": "WordNet's cornerstone is its several types of conceptual relations. Of our interest, we have the hyponym of (counterpart hypernym of ), which indicates a subtype relation. The part holonym of (counterpart part meronym of ) indicates a component relation. Similarly, substance holonym of (counterpart substance meronym of ) indicates a component relation for substances. The Domain of synset -topic (counterpart domain of synset -member) indicates the topic a given concept (synset), as in \"geology is domain of synset -topic of rock\". From the GBA thesaurus, we consider the labels and definitions of the concepts and the concepts relations. But GBA's definitions were not taken literally since they were (van Assem et al., 2006) . In our case, where in GBA A has broader B, in WN we defined A as hyponym of B; likewise, where in GBA B has narrower A, in WN we defined B as hypernym of A. For the sake of simplicity, we'll use WN's relations names henceforth. We also opted for lower case terms when changing or adding synset in WN. GBA does not have explicit relations between rocks and the minerals that compose it, but we inferred the rock compositions in WN relations substance holonym of and substance meronym of from GBA's definitions. We also used WN's domain of synset -TOPIC and member of this domain -TOPIC, as explained later on. As a proof of concept of our approach, we worked with limestone and initially analyzed only definitions and hypernym of and hyponym of relations. Afterwards we worked on the substance holonym of, substance meronym of, domain of synset -TOPIC and member of this domain -TOPIC relations. While the first step enriches WN with lithological terms, the second step ventures into the mineral domain, expanding WN even further. Once we set this work routine, we expanded the task to include all carbonate sedimentary rock and clastic sedimentary rock, the main types or reservoir rocks for Oil & Gas, ergo the most relevant for this industry. Finally, we included all of GBA lithology ontology into WN. In WN limestone has the aforementioned redundant relations between rock and limestone. These and other deleted relations are highlighted in red in figure 3 . the fragment consisting mainly of calcium will be addressed by a meronym relation; finally, that was deposited by the remains of marine animals is not mentioned by GBA's definition. The first two parts can be removed without losses. As for the last part, (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2018) states limestone has two origins: (1) biogenic precipitation from seawater, the primary agents being limesecreting organisms and foraminifera; and (2) mechanical transport and deposition of preexisting limestones, forming clastic deposits. Therefore, the whole WN definition for limestone can be disregarded in favor of GBA's 16 . Going through the definitions for these ten synsets so far, one can notice three main aspects covered: the process of forming a rock (e.g.: consolidation, compaction, cementation); the constituents of such rock (e.g.: calcite, aragonite); and the size or aspect of the constituents (e.g.: rounded, >2mm). Focusing on the constituents, we confirm that rock is substance meronym of 14662574-n (mineral : solid homogeneous inorganic substances occurring in nature having a definite chemical composition) in WN. Reflectively, mineral is substance holonym of rock. Combing through the definitions for the nine terms so far under rock, we see that the only minerals referenced are calcite, aragonite and dolomite. All three of them already exist in WN and required only minor changes in the definitions and/or the relations. Essentially the chemical formulas were added to the definitions and the substance holonym of relations according to the definitions of the terms we added to WN. Finally, another set of relations was included: the domain 14 Sedimentary material is defined in GBA as a naturallyoccurring material formed at the Earth's surface, consisting of solid particles aggregated together by one or more depositional processes operating within fluid systems (either aqueous or gaseous) to yield granular particles and/or crystalline particles that are aggregated into layers or bodies. The term includes both unconsolidated sediments and sedimentary rocks.",

"text": "15 14698000-n (sedimentary rock in WN : rock formed from consolidated clay sediments) 16 Limestone definition in GBA is A carbonate sedimentary rock composed of > 95% calcite (and aragonite) and < 5% dolomite of synset -TOPIC and member of this domain -TOPIC. Given our topic of choice, all of the terms we added from GBA's lithological terms were associated with lithology domain and their constituents with the mineral domain. The limestone example shows our approach to map GBA into WN. We included six new and corrected four previously existent synsets definitions, along with their hypernym of and hyponym of relations. As we analyzed substance holonym of and substance meronym of relations, we included some of GBA's mineral terms in WN. It is not the scope of this work to cover all of GBA's minerals, but we included the ones mentioned in the rock's definitions. Following this same approach, we were able to include all of carbonate sedimentary rock and clastic sedimentary rock, encompassing 27 new synsets with new 79 relations and 9 definitions changes, 15 removed relations and 71 new relations in pre-existing synsets. These types of sedimentary rocks represent the two main types of oil & gas reservoirs throughout the world. By having them on WN we expect to move one step ahead in NLP for the Oil & Gas domain. We also expect that our time invested in ensuring proper synset relations will improve the performance of word sense disambiguation (WSD) algorithms, specially ones that rely on WN's graph such as UKB (Agirre and Soroa, 2009) . At this point we ran the analysis covered in 7.. After the positive results, we carried on with our approach and finished the inclusion and mapping of all GBA lithology material into the WN. With this we expect to move one step further in NLP not only for the Oil & Gas domain but for all geological-related domains, such as Mining, Seismology, and so on.",

"text": "The extension of WN raised some relevant points. This section covers such points and explains the reasoning behind the decisions made within the possibilities considered. A recurring matter regards the multiword expression (MWE) issue. Should we keep and create a synset for an MWE? Or is it enough to have all words individually in the resource? For instance, in WN we have 14698000-n (sedimentary rock : rock formed from consolidated clay sediments), but is it a 14696793-n (rock : material consisting of the aggregate of minerals like those making up the Earth's crust; \"that mountain is solid rock\"; \"stone is abundant in New England and there are many quarries\") that is 02952109-a (sedimentary : resembling or containing or formed by the accumulation of sediment; \"sedimentary deposits\")? Likewise, GBA subdivides sandstone, sand, siltstone, silt and gravel into fine, medium and coarse, meaning fine presents more and smaller grains than medium which in turn has more and smaller grains than coarse. But GBA sets a specific grain diameter range for fine sandstone which is different from the range of fine siltstone (respectively 0.063mm to 0.200mm and 0.0020mm to 0.0063mm). Due to this aspect, one possibility would be to adjust existing (or create new) synsets to ensure that fine, medium and coarse retain their relative properties, but the cutoff values (e.g.:0.063mm to 0.200mm) would be lost. In such cases we chose to respect our authoritative source. Another issue we faced was when layman's knowledge clashes with technical definitions. For instance, 14698000n (sedimentary rock : rock formed from consolidated clay sediments): from a technical perspective, clay is an unconsolidated sediment with very small grain, whilst sedimentary rock can be formed from several grain sizes, so we replaced WN's definition with GBA's. Another example is 14995541-n (sandstone : a sedimentary rock consisting of sand consolidated with some cement (clay or quartz etc.)). Even though WN's definition was not so far off, it presented sandstone as an hyponym of 14697485-n (arenaceous rock : a sedimentary rock composed of sand), a term not present in GBA. On the technical side sand is a clastic sediment within a certain grain size range, but on the other hand WN defines sand as being silica-based, i.e., the sand commonly found in beaches. This is a common misunderstanding even among technicians. In order to accommodate such divergent points, we merged arenaceous rock and sandstone synsets, kept the seven synsets sandstone was already hypernym of and then complemented with GBA's material.",

"text": "In order to assess the impact of our project, we tested the same NLP pipeline in the same corpus once with the original PWN and once with our extended WN on its intermediary version, i.e. with only carbonate sedimentary rock and clastic sedimentary rock structures. The results confirmed the value of our approach and justified the inclusion of the remaining GBA's lithological terms. The corpus used is one studied by (Rademaker, 2018) . It consists of over five thousand sentences, with an average 28 words per sentence. It was built from 1298 publicly available English language geological reports, published by the United States Geological Survey, Geological Survey of Canada and British Geological Survey. The processing was done using Freeling 4.1 (Padr\u00f3 and Stanilovsky, 2012) , with the corpus organized in one sentence per file. The use of our OWN-EN implied in 910 words with different results. Nine had improper Part-of-Speech (PoS) tags and no sense attributed, and for those all PoS and senses were properly attributed with our OWN-EN, but only three to our new synsets -the other six were allocated to previously existing synsets. Such phenomena also happened where the PoS was already correct: of 78 words without allocated synsets, 69 were attributed to previous synsets and only 9 to new synsets. Another 184 words changed synsets within preexisting ones. Finally, there were 639 occurrences of sandstone that properly changed from the original WN synset to our previously discussed synset. One interesting aspect that arises from such numbers is that, sandstone apart, most changes were to preexisting synsets. This shows the impact of adding and correcting relations within already existing synsets. Another relevant case is the change from 13483488-n (formation : natural process that causes something to form; \"the formation of gas in the intestine\"; \"the formation of crystal\"; \"the formation of pseudopods\") to 09287968-n (formation : (geology) the geological features of the earth) for 59 occurrences of formation. Each case was checked, and the switch was judged appropriate for 51 of them. For the remaining eight cases the original synset was deemed correct. Conglomerate has fourteen occurrences in the corpus, all of which were previously mapped to 08058937-n (conglomerate : a group of diverse companies under common ownership and run as a single organization) and afterwards were properly mapped to 14863031-n (conglomerate : a composite rock made up of particles of varying size). Each case was individually validated. To illustrate, an example sentence is presented below -clearly it is not about a group of companies, but rather composite rocks.",

The reader should consider this sense wherever rock is mentioned henceforth.Figure 1shows how rock is represented in WN, while figure 2 shows a few of the uppermost lithologies in GBA. A first look at both shows that WN has at least some hierarchical issues: Finally, limestone in GBA is hyponym of carbonate sedimentary rock which in turn is hyponym of sedimentary rock. Notice that GBA does not have a term for 'rock' pure and simple. Instead its top concepts are three types of material and from those arise different rocks and other materials. 'Rock' however is used to define other ones (see sedimentary rock below). Due to this and to the fact that rock is a relevant term in everyday language, we chose to keep this WN synset, add the three top concepts of GBA and allocate GBA's specific terms downwards from these four synsets."
