K Dictionaries multi-language Global Series

4

• Spanish set of the K Dictionaries (KD) multi-language Global Series (24 languages)
• The approach followed in this series is to compile for each language a core vocabulary as a

standalone project and have it translated to other languages in more projects.

• Not biased towards any language, and each is represented on its own terms.
• Translated to another language at a later phase, creating a pair-specific, and thus pair-

sensitive, interlingual representation

HOW

MetaForum 2016, 4-5.07.16, Lisboa, Portugal

5 tasks to migrate resources into linked data (Vila

Suero et al., 2014):

• 1. Data exploration
• 2. URI naming strategy definition
• 3. Modeling
• 4. RDF generation
• 5. Linking

Model for representing linguistic information in RDF(s) (semantics by reference)

“An ontology-based semantic lexicon would leave the semantics to the ontology, focusing instead on providing domain-specific terms and object descriptions in the

• ntology.” (Buitelaar, 2010)
• Concise and descriptive (external repositories of

linguistic categories)

• Modular and extensible (5 modules)

EN DE ES FR IT

MetaForum 2016, 4-5.07.16, Lisboa, Portugal

• Innovative way of representing

and linking data

• Keeping language specificities

as much as possible, in a cross- lingual graph, bottom-up fashion

• Retrieving language information

by linking translations

• In the KD case, RDF links

contribute to automatic growth of lexical resources, at a different pace

• “One-stop shop”, rather than

many shops

Thank you!
