GermaNet - representation, visualization, application

چکیده
This paper outlines current developments centering around the lexical-semantic database GermaNet and its applicability both within language engineering tasks and on the Semantic Web. From this perspective, representation and standardization are considered to be crucial issues as regards compatibility and interoperability with other languages resources. Representation variants of lexical data, eg. XML-based formats, enable various web applications and data exchange. Furthermore, visualization tools for exploring ontologies can be adopted and enhanced.

Exploring and Navigating: Tools for GermaNet
GermaNet is regarded to be a valuable resource for many German NLP applications, corpus research, and teaching. This demo presents three GUI-based tools meant to facilitate the exploration of and navigation through GermaNet. The GermaNet Explorer exhibits various retrieval, sort, filter and visualization functions for words/synsets and also provides an insight into the modeling of GermaNet’s se...
متن کاملTowards a Formal Representation of Components of German Compounds
This paper presents an approach for the formal representation of components in German compounds. We assume that such a formal representation will support the segmentation and analysis of unseen compounds that feature components already seen in other compounds. An extensive language resource that explicitly codes components of compounds is GermaNet, a lexical semantic network for German. We summ...
متن کاملAccessing GermaNet Data and Computing Semantic Relatedness
We present an API developed to access GermaNet, a lexical semantic database for German represented in XML. The API provides a set of software functions for parsing and retrieving information from GermaNet. Then, we present a case study which builds upon the GermaNet API and implements an application for computing semantic relatedness according to five different metrics. The package can, again, ...
متن کاملWebCAGe - A Web-Harvested Corpus Annotated with GermaNet Senses
This paper describes an automatic method for creating a domain-independent senseannotated corpus harvested from the web. As a proof of concept, this method has been applied to German, a language for which sense-annotated corpora are still in short supply. The sense inventory is taken from the German wordnet GermaNet. The web-harvesting relies on an existing mapping of GermaNet to the German ver...
متن کاملComputing Semantic Relatedness of GermaNet Concepts
We present a system designed to compute the semantic relatedness between a pair of GermaNet concepts (word senses). Five different metrics have been implemented. Three of them are information content based and incorporate the Two metrics constitute the application of a Lesk algorithm (Lesk 1986) to artificial conceptual glosses generated from GermaNet. We show that four metrics correlate very w...
