Abstract. We present a declarative approach implemented in a comprehensive open-source framework based on DBpedia to extract lexicalsemantic resources -an ontology about language use -from Wiktionary. The data currently includes language, part of speech, senses, definitions, synonyms, translations and taxonomies (hyponyms, hyperonyms, synonyms, antonyms) for each lexical word. Main focus is on flexibility to the loose schema and configurability towards differing language-editions of Wiktionary. This is achieved by a declarative mediator/wrapper approach. The goal is to allow the addition of languages just by configuration without the need of programming, thus enabling the swift and resource-conserving adaption of wrappers by domain experts. The extracted data is as fine granular as the source data in Wiktionary and additionally follows the lemon model. It enables use cases like disambiguation or machine translation. By offering a linked data service, we hope to extend DBpedia's central role in the LOD infrastructure to the world of Open Linguistics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
