Description
The Open Multilingual Wordnet provides access to open wordnets in a variety of languages, all linked to the Princeton Wordnet of English. WordNet® is a large lexical database of a given language. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets), each expressing a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by means of conceptual-semantic and lexical relations. The resulting network of meaningfully related words and concepts can be navigated with a browser. Bond is a central figure in the wordnet community, and holds the goal of making it easy to use wordnets in multiple languages. He has written wordnets for Japanese and Bahasa Indonesia, and is a key developer of online grammars for Japanese and Korean. The Open Multilingual Wordnet and its components are open: they can be freely used, modified, and shared by anyone for any purpose.
