Danish Wordnet

Danish Wordnet (DanNet) is a lexical-semantic network that is structured along the same lines as the Princeton WordNet (lexical reference system).

In a wordnet, which is basically a semantic network, the different lexical categories of words (nouns, verbs,..) are organised into 'synsets' (sets of synonyms). Each synset represents a lexical concept and they can be linked by different types of relation (hyperonymy, antonymy, etc.). For obvious reasons, all wordnets resort to the same system of synset identification.

Danish Wordnet is automatically extracted from the DDO (Den Danske Ordborg), a dictionary of modern Danish, and the SIMPLE-DK, a computational semantic lexicon. It is still under development (target size: 70,000 synsets) but already contains about 61,000 synsets (in 2010).

WordNet is a basic resource for computational linguistics purposes and language engineering applications (machine translation, IE, WSD, knowledge representation, etc.).
