In this paper we describe the semi-automatic process of transforming the Russian language thesaurus RuThes to WordNet-like thesaurus, called RuWordNet. In this procedure we attempted to achieve two main characteristic features of WordNet-like resources: division of data into part-of-speech-oriented structures with cross-references between them and providing a set of relations similar to WordNet...

A WordNet is a useful lexical resource where specific senses of words are clustered together into synonym sets, and semantic relationships between these sets are specified. This paper describes an ongoing project to create an Indonesian WordNet using the expand model approach, i.e. by mapping existing WordNet entries to Indonesian word sense definitions. We discuss some issues encountered durin...

This paper presents a novel automatic approach to partially integrate FrameNet and WordNet. In that way we expect to extend FrameNet coverage, to enrich WordNet with frame semantic information and possibly to extend FrameNet to languages other than English. The method uses a knowledge-based Word Sense Disambiguation algorithm for linking FrameNet lexical units to WordNet synsets. Specifically, ...

This paper presents two new features that help with wordnet management and presentation in DEBVisDic. The first is the new interface to gather user feedback about errors in wordnet and streamlined management of revisions approval and possible updates to the wordnet database. The second feature is the new visualization interface, providing both textual and graphical representation of wordnet dat...

Linguistic resources with domain-specific coverage are crucial for the development of concrete application systems, especially when integrated with domain-independent resources. In this paper we present our experience in the creation of ArchiWordNet, a specialized WordNet for the architecture and construction domain which is being created according to the WordNet model and integrated with WordN...

This paper presents an automated supervised method for Persian wordnet construction. Using a Persian corpus and a bi-lingual dictionary, the initial links between Persian words and Princeton WordNet synsets have been generated. These links will be discriminated later as correct or incorrect by employing seven features in a trained classification system. The whole method is just a classification...

During the development of the Hungarian WordNet we found that the primarily hierarchical structure of the Princeton WordNet (PWN) had to be expanded in order that it could be used for a more accurate representation of relations among verbal meanings in Hungarian, as well. Treating verbs as eventualities we made some aspectual information explicitly available in the representation of verbs. Usin...
