Integrating Generic and Specialized Wordnets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although generic (i.e. domain independent) and specialized (i.e. domain specific) lexical resources are usually developed with different aims, an integrated consultation seems to be necessary for many NLP based applications. We describe an integration procedure based on the definition of plug-in relations that are established to manage overlaps and inconsistencies between the two resources. The approach has been experimented connecting ItalWordNet, a generic lexical database for Italian, and Economic-WordNet, a specialized wordnet for the economic and financial domain.

This paper presents two experiments with real world applications of word sense disambiguation, wordnets and dependency parsing. The first is an effort towards a portuguese wordnet annotated corpus. We manually annotated 30 sentences using OpenWordNet-PT as a lexicon and then compared the results with an automatic annotation. In addition to the system’s evaluation, the results provided valuable ...

The growing amount of available information and the growing importance given to the access to technical information enhance the potential role of NLP applications in enabling users to deal with information for a variety of knowledge domains. In this process, lexical resources are crucial. Using and comparing already existent wordnets for common and technical lexica, we set up a basis for integr...
متن کاملVisualizing sloWNet
With the increasing popularity of semantic lexica such as wordnets that are being developed for more and more languages the need for tools which enable displaying and management of their content has risen as well. Dictionary writing systems or tools for ontology management are not suitable for use with wordnets because they are concept-based and relational on the one hand but less formal and mo...
متن کاملThe TermiNet Project: an Overview
Linguistic resources with domain-specific coverage are crucial for the development of concrete Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems. In this paper we give a global introduction to the ongoing (since 2009) TermiNet project, whose aims are to instantiate a generic NLP methodology for the development of terminological wordnets and to apply the instantiated methodology for building a terminolo...
