Latin Wordnet

The Latin Wordnet 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.

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

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

The Latin Wordnet is distributed through the ELRA catalogue http://catalog.elra.info under the reference M0048.
