Japanese WordNet

The Japanese Wordnet 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.

The Japanese WordNet contains:
- 57,238 concepts (synsets),
- 93,834 words,
- 158,058 senses (synset-word pairs),
- 135,692 definitions,
- 48,276 examples.
It is still under construction. For more details, please check http://nlpwww.nict.go.jp/wn-ja/

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