The Swedish FrameNet++ was designed to be several
things. As a digital artifact, it is an integrated
panchronic lexical macroresource, primarily for Swedish, but
including several other languages, intended as a basic
infrastructural component in Swedish language technology research
and for developing natural language processing applications. As an
activity, it is a long-term R&D initiative,
initially aimed at bringing about this macroresource, and now at
maintaining and extending it, at promoting its use in language
technology research and application development, as well as ensuring
that the results of this research and development in their turn are
incorporated in the macroresource. As a product of
research, it reflects both computational and linguistic
approaches to lexicology, lexical semantics, and lexical
typology.
