Resumen de EUROWORNET: building a multilingual WordNet database with semantic relations between words

María Felisa Verdejo Maíllo

• The project aims at developing a multilingual database with basic semantic relations between words for several European languages (Dutch, Italian and Spanish). The wordnets will be linked to the American WordNet for English and a shared top-ontology will be derived, while language specific properties are maintained in the individual wordnets. The database can be used for multilingual information retrieval which will be demonstrated by Novell Linguistic Development.
