Linguistic Linked Data in Chinese: The Case of Chinese Wordnet

Abstract

The present study describes recent developments of Chinese Wordnet, which has been reformatted using the lemon model and published as part of the Linguistic Linked Open Data Cloud. While lemon suffices for modeling most of the structures in Chinese Wordnet at the lexical level, the model does not allow for finergrained distinction of a word sense, or meaning facets, a linguistic feature also attended to in Chinese Wordnet. As for the representation of synsets, we use the WordNet RDF ontology for integration's sake. Also, we use another ontology proposed by the Global WordNet Association to show how Chinese Wordnet as Linked Data can be integrated into the Global WordNet Grid.

Semantic Similarity Measurement for Malay Words Using Wordnet Bahasa and Wikipedia Bahasa Melayu: Issues and Proposed Solutions

“…WordNet Bahasa (WB) is a lexical source of innovation from English WordNet used for Malay and Bahasa Indonesia, while the Wikipedia Bahasa Melayu (WikiBM) is an innovation developed from English Wikipedia. Good performance has been shown by semantic relatedness study between words for other languages such as Arabic (Almaayah et al, 2014;Mahyoub et al, 2014;Alkhatib et al, 2017;Saif et al, 2018), Thai (Na Chai et al, 2017Netisopakul & Thong-Iad, 2019) and Chinese (Zhang, 2013;Lee & Hsieh, 2015). However, in Malay, studies on the semantic relatedness between words using WordNet Bahasa and Wikipedia Malay are still lacking.…”
