WordNet Portuguese
The Wordnet for Portuguese (Wordnet.PT) is being developed since 1999 within the general approach of EuroWordNet. Eurowordnet includes wordnets for several European languages and each one of them 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 WordNet Portuguese contains 19,000 lexical expressions from different semantic fields (art, clothing, geography, health, institutions, living entities and transportation). It is still under development.
WordNet is a basic resource for computational linguistics purposes and language engineering application (machine translation, IE, WSD, knowledge representation, etc.).
