Towards a Public Multilingual Knowledge Management Infrastructure for the European Digital Single Market

This paper describes the first phase of the Public Multilingual Knowledge Management Infrastructure (PMKI) ISA2 project. PMKI is meant to support enterprises, in particular the language technology industry, as well as public administrations, with multilingual tools able to improve cross border accessibility of digital services. In particular it aims to create a set of tools and facilities, based on Semantic Web technologies, for establishing semantic interoperability between multilingual lexicons. A comparative study among the main data models for representing lexicons and recommendations for the PMKI service are reported. Moreover, the expected synergies with other programs of the EU institutions, as far as systems interoperability and machine translation solutions, are discussed.
