PAROLE/SIMPLE „LexInfo‟ ontology and lexicons

The PAROLE/SIMPLE 'LexInfo' Ontology and Lexicon are the OWL/RDF version of the PAROLE & SIMPLE lexicons (defined during the PAROLE (LE2-4017) and SIMPLE (LE4-8346) IV FP EU projects) once mapped to LexInfo model. Original PAROLE/SIMPLE lexicons contain morphological, syntactic and semantic information, organized according to a common model and to common linguistic specifications for 12 European languages. The data set we describe includes the common PAROLE/SIMPLE model mapped to LexInfo ontology and the Spanish & Catalan lexicons. All data are published in the Data Hub and are distributed under CC Attribution 3.0 Unported licence. The Spanish lexicon contains 199466 triples and 7572 lexical entries fully annotated with syntactic and semantic information. The Catalan lexicon contains 343714 triples and 20545 lexical entries annotated with syntactic information half of which are also annotated with semantic information. In this paper we briefly describe the resulting data, the mapping process and the benefits obtained.
