Vietnamese Wordnet

The Vietnamese 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 Vietnamese Wordnet is still under construction. It already contains (in 2010) 12,269 senses translated into Vietnamese from the version 3.0 of the English Wordnet.

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