IndoWordNet Dictionary: An Online Multilingual Dictionary using IndoWordNet
نویسندگان
چکیده
India is a country with diverse culture, language and varied heritage. Due to this, it is very rich in languages and their dialects. Being a multilingual society, a multilingual dictionary becomes its need and one of the major resources to support a language. There are dictionaries for many Indian languages, but very few are available in multiple languages. WordNet is one of the most prominent lexical resources in the field of Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval, while IndoWordNet is an integrated multilingual WordNet for Indian languages. These resources are used by researchers to experiment and resolve the issues in multilinguality through computation. However, there are few cases where WordNet is used by the nonresearchers or general public. This paper focuses on providing an online interface – IndoWordNet Dictionary to non-researchers as well as researchers. It is developed to render multilingual WordNet information of 19 Indian languages in a dictionary format. The WordNet information is rendered in multiple views such as: sense based, thesaurus based, word usage based and language based. English WordNet information is also rendered using this interface. The IndoWordNet dictionary will help language researchers as well as general public to know meanings of a word in multiple Indian languages.
