BUILDING MULTILINGUAL LEXICAL RESOURCES ON SEMIOTIC PRINCIPLES

Davide Picca

2010

Abstract

Multilinguality permeates the web so that multilingual resources are fundamental in several NLP applications as cross language information retrieval as well as machine translation. Nonetheless the manual creation of such resources is very expensive. Semantic Web technologies can represent a great enhancement for NLP applications. In this paper, we show how Semantic Web technologies as an upper ontology based on well-founded semiotic theories can be applied to build multilingual lexical resources as Machine Readable Dictionaries (MRDs).
