Multilingual Design Of EuroWordNet

چکیده
This paper discusses the design of the EuroWordNet database, in which semantic databases like WordNetl.5 for several languages are combined via a so-called inter-lingual-index. In this database, language-independent data is shared and language-specific properties are maintained as well. A special interface has been developed to compare the semantic configurations across languages and to track down differences. The pragmatic design of the database makes it possible to gather empirical evidence for a common cross-linguistic ontology.

متن کاملEurowordnet: a Multilingual Database of Autonomous and Language-specific Wordnets Connected via an Inter - Lingual-index
This paper describes the multilingual design of the EuroWordNet database. The EuroWordNet database stores wordnets as autonomous language-specific structures that are interconnected via an Inter-Lingual-Index (ILI). In this paper, we discuss the possibilities to create mappings from each wordnet to the central ILI and how the ILI itself can be adapted to provide more overlap across the wordnets...

متن کاملEuroWordNet: Linguistic Ontologies in a Multilingual Database
The aim of the EuroWordNet-project is to develop a database with wordnets for several European languages, similar to the Princeton WordNet1.5, which contains basic semantic relations between words in English. The wordnets will be linked to WordNet1.5 using equivalence relations constituting a multilingual database. In this paper we will give an overview of the basic principles and design of the...
متن کاملLexicography in an Interlingual Ontology: An Introduction to EuroWordNet
EuroWordNet is a multilingual lexical database constructed in the wake of WordNet. The ontological structure of the language-dependent layers, analogous to individual WordNets, through the semantic space of the interlingual index and abstract framework of the top level ontologies are examined. The semantic nature of the interlingual lexicon is examined as it applies to Gruber’s principles for t...
