As the Tisane databases are built around concepts, the terms have two components:

• Concepts themselves, called families in Tisane. Families are nodes with numeric identifiers, aligned across languages. Families may have connections to other families, such as domains (areas of knowledge to which the family belong), super-concepts (hypernyms), or sub-concepts (hyponyms).
• Lexemes linked to the families.

A word-sense is essentially a link between a family and a lexeme.

To link an existing lexeme to an existing family:

1. Navigate to the Knowledge Graph
2. Locate the family you need to modify by using a family ID, a substring of the description, or a predefined range
3. Click on the + button in the family definition white box
4. Choose the lexeme you’d like to link by using a lexeme ID, a substring of the description, or a predefined range

To link a new lexeme to an existing family:

1. Navigate to the Lexicon page
2. Click on the + button to create a new lexeme
3. Type the lemma. Click Save
4. Follow the steps described in the previous section to link the lexeme
5. Go back to the lexicon page, find the lexeme using a lexeme ID, a substring of the description, or a predefined range
6. Click on the edit button (with the pen icon) to edit the lexeme
7. Click Tag to generate features. Complete the missing features, if applicable
8. Click Save

To link a new lexeme to an new family:

1. Navigate to the Knowledge Graph page
2. Click on the + button to create a new family
3. Fill in the fields. Don’t forget the features
4. Click Save
5. Link hypernyms, domains, or any other links you find necessary
6. Follow the instructions in the previous section
