We present Ubiqtionary (Uby), a large-scale resource integration project
based on the Lexical Markup Framework (LMF, ISO 24613:2008).
Currently, nine lexicons in two languages (English and German) have been
integrated: WordNet, GermaNet, FrameNet, VerbNet, Wikipedia (DE/EN),
Wiktionary (DE/EN), and OmegaWiki.
Our LMF model - Uby-LMF - captures lexical information at a fine-grained
level and employs a large number of Data Categories from ISOCat.
All resources have been mapped to the model and imported into an SQL-DB. The
Uby-API, a common Java software library, provides access to all data in the
Uby-DB.
Uby will be publicly available for download soon.
The nine lexicons are densely interlinked using monolingual and
cross-lingual sense alignments.
These sense alignments yield enriched sense representations and increased
coverage.
We have developed a sense alignment framework for automatically aligning any
pair of resources mono- or cross-lingually.
As an example, we report on the automatic alignment of WordNet and
Wiktionary.
