| The VerbNet module of the PreMOn ontology defines classes [pmovn:VerbClass](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#VerbClass) and [pmovn:SemanticRole](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#SemanticRole) as subclasses of [pmo:SemanticClass](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/core#SemanticClass) and [pmo:SemanticRole](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/core#SemanticRole), respectively.
*Class members* are modeled as instances of [ontolex:LexicalEntry](https://www.w3.org/community/ontolex/wiki/Final_Model_Specification#Lexical_Entry), connected to their class via property [ontolex:evokes](https://www.w3.org/community/ontolex/wiki/Final_Model_Specification#Evokes).
The VN class hierarchy is modeled via the [pmovn:subclassOf](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#subclassOf) property (subproperty of [skos:broader](http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#broader)), that relates a verb class (e.g., *13.1-1*) with its parent class (e.g., *13.1*).
Given the propagation of semantic roles along the class hierarchy, we introduce property [pmovn:definesSemRole](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#definesSemRole) to differentiate the [pmovn:SemanticRole](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#SemanticRole) instances defined on a class from the ones inherited from its ancestor classes.
Each [pmovn:SemanticRole](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#SemanticRole) instance is related (via property [pmovn:thematicRole](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#thematicRole)) to exactly one pmovn:ThematicRole, which contains all the thematic roles defined in VB. These thematic roles are organized in a hierarchy, which is formalized via the skos:broader property.
VN selectional restrictions on [pmovn:SemanticRole](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#SemanticRole)s (e.g., restricting *theme* to something not animate) are formalized using property [pmovn:restriction](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#restriction) and class [pmovn:Restriction](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#Restriction) (see later).
A verb class may have one or more [pmovn:VerbNetFrame](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#VerbNetFrame)s (via property [pmovn:frame](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#frame), or its subproperty [pmovn:definesFrame](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#definesFrame), to distinguish frames defined on the class or inherited from ancestors), which have:
* one or more ordered [pmo:SynItem](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/core#SynItem)s, modeling a syntactic construction (e.g., *Agent V Theme [-sentential]*) shared by all members of the class. [pmo:SynItem](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/core#SynItem)s are specialized according to their syntactical function (e.g., [pmovn:NpSynItem](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#NpSynItem) for noun phrases). A [pmovn:NpSynItem](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#NpSynItem) can point (via [pmo:valueObj](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/core#valueObj)) to a [pmovn:SemanticRole](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#SemanticRole), and define, via [pmovn:restriction](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#restriction), (i) a selectional restriction holding for the [pmovn:SemanticRole](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#SemanticRole) in that frame (e.g., *animate*), or (ii) some other syntactic restriction (e.g., *np to inf*). Similarly, selectional restrictions can be modelled on [pmovn:PrepSynItem](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#PrepSynItem) (e.g., *spatial*);
* one or more ordered semantic [pmo:Pred](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/core#Pred)s, modeling the meaning of the event, and its participants, expressed by the verb class for that syntactic construction (e.g.,
*approve(during(E), Agent, Theme)*). Predicates in [pmovn:Pred](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#Pred) have a type ([pmovn:PredType](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#PredType), e.g., *approve*) and can be further decomposed in [pmovn:PredArg](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#PredArg) (e.g., *during(E)*) of various types (e.g., [pmovn:EventPredArg](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#EventPredArg)). Negation of a predicate is expressed by property [pmovn:negPred](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#negPred), while implicit [pmovn:PredArg](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#PredArg)s are marked with property [pmovn:impPredArg](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#impPredArg).
A [pmovn:VerbNetFrame](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#VerbNetFrame) is directly associated to its corresponding [pmo:Example](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/core#Example) via the pmovn:frameExample property.
### Restrictions
[pmovn:Restriction](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#Restriction)s are modeled structurally as AND / OR compositions ([pmovn:CompoundRestriction](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#CompoundRestriction) and subclasses) of atomic restrictions ([pmovn:AtomicRestriction](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#AtomicRestriction) and subclasses) that require the presence or absence of a certain [pmovn:RestrictionProperty](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#RestrictionProperty). Semantically, restrictions are divided in [pmovn:SyntacticRestriction](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#SyntacticRestriction)s, which refer to a [pmovn:SyntacticRestrictionProperty](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#SyntacticRestrictionProperty) and are attached to [pmovn:NpSynItem](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#NpSynItem)s, and [pmovn:SelectionalRestriction](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#SelectionalRestriction)s. The latter are divided in [pmovn:PrepositionalSelectionalRestriction](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#PrepositionalSelectionalRestriction)s, which refer to a [pmovn:PrepositionalRestrictionProperty](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#PrepositionalRestrictionProperty) and are attached to [pmovn:PrepSynItem](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#PrepSynItem)s, and [pmovn:RoleSelectionalRestriction](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#RoleSelectionalRestriction)s, which refer to a [pmovn:RoleRestrictionProperty](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#RoleRestrictionProperty) and are attached both to [pmovn:SemanticRole](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#SemanticRole)s and [pmovn:NpSynItem](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#NpSynItem)s. Every restriction instance instantiates both a structural and a semantic subclass of [pmovn:Restriction](http://premon.fbk.eu/ontology/vn#Restriction).

The VerbNet module of the PreMOn ontology extends the core module with classes and properties specific to the VerbNet predicate model. The modelling is based on the [VerbNet Annotation Guidelines](http://nlp.cs.nyu.edu/meyers/nombank/nombank-specs-2007.pdf).
