A general linguistic ontology and a set of semantic links, which allow classifying, describing and interconnecting word senses, play a central role in structuring and representing such knowledge. The health and medicine vocabulary has been taken as a case study for this investigation. %U http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2006/pdf/811_pdf.pdf
