FinnWordNet is a Finnish wordnet which complies with the structure of the Princeton WordNet (Fellbaum, 1998). It was created by translating all the words in Princeton WordNet. It is open source and contains over 117 000 synsets. We are now testing different methods in order to improve and expand the content of FinnWordNet. Since wordnets are structured ontologies, a location for a word in FinnW...

Siraton devillei Hustache, 1934, described from a single specimen collected on the island of Elba in Italy, is determined to be conspecific with the Australian cycad weevil Melanotranes internatus (Pascoe, 1870). Consequently, Melanotranes Zimmerman, 1994 is a new junior synonym of Siraton Hustache, 1934 and Siraton devillei Hustache, 1934 a new junior subjective synonym of Tranes internatus Pa...

The Indo-Pacific peristediid genus Satyrichthys Kaup, 1873 was first diagnosed as having a broad head with mesethmoid, postocular, parietal and preopercular spines. Later, most ichthyologists characterized Satyrichthys by its toothless jaws and strong preopercular spine. Kawai (2008) divided Satyrichthys into two genera, Satyrichthys and Scalicus, on the basis of a phylogenetic hypothesis, and ...

This document reports on the restructuring of the Inter-LingualIndex to provide a more efficient mapping across the wordnets. By adding so-called Composite ILIs that group closely related senses it is possible to connect synsets that cannot be matched otherwise. Status of the abstract Complete

We investigate in this paper the degree of overlap between synonym sets of translated word pairs across three languages: French, English and Romanian. We use for this purpose a French Synonym Dictionary, a Romanian Synonym Dictionary, Princeton’s WordNet and Google Translate API. We build a database containing pairs of (translated) words from the three languages, along with their corresponding ...
