Issues in Exploiting GermaNet as a Resource in Real Applications

This paper reports about experiments with GermaNet as a resource within domain specific document analysis. The main question to be answered is: How is the coverage of GermaNet in a specific domain? We report about results of a field test of GermaNet for analyses of autopsy protocols and present a sketch about the integration of GermaNet inside XDOC.1 Our remarks will contribute to a GermaNet user’s wish list.
