Frameset

Predicate dominate:

Frames file for 'dominate' based on sentences in financial subcorpus. Verbnet class contiguous_location-47.8, other framed members include 'contain' 'cover' 'fill' 'support' and 'top'. I don't think those are the sense 'dominate' is usually used in, though. Using 'surpass' sense of 'top'.
