Wordnet for Hebrew

The Wordnet for Hebrew is a lexical-semantic network that is structured along the same lines as the Princeton WordNet (lexical reference system) and the EuroWordNet.

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.

Current state: 5,261 synsets.

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

Note that the wordnet for Hebrew, like the Spanish, Romanian and Latin wordnets, is compatible with the MultiWordNet model.
