    <Paragraph position="0"> Our aim is to show that ontological types can be used as constraints in a lexicon of semantic relations denoted by prepositions. In this paper we have presented our preliminary results, that are based on an analysis of a Danish corpus, compiled of texts from the domain of nutrition. We have introduced an ontology of relations, which will make it possible to measure relational distance between complex structures in addition to the conceptual distance that we can measure between concepts. The results are promising: We can produce rules that have good precision scores for the locative relation, and we expect to improve the rules by generalizing the ontological types of the prepositional arguments. Also, we plan to expand our research to cover other relations than the ones treated in this paper.</Paragraph>
