Match WordNet and dbnary?

[rwingerter55]

IMO en.wiktionary.org is an interesting resource for senses and definitions.

Dbnary is an effort to provide multilingual lexical data extracted from wiktionary.
Cf. http://kaiko.getalp.org/about-dbnary/

Since both resources are available in RDF comparing the structure of dbnary and WordNet is easy, thanks to the OntoLex-Lemon lexicon model and the W3C community group that created it.

My thanks to https://github.com/excalidraw/excalidraw. Without this great tool I could not have written this message.

What about https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/WordNet_ID?

We may need to investigate how to connect wordnet and wikidata

@arademaker, thank you very much for your suggestion and the link.

@arademaker, links from Wikidata are only possible when the item exists in WordNet. Wikidata seems to wait for the integration of Wiktionary.

By matching wiktionary (dbnary) entries with WordNet we could identify missing lemmas (including definitions!).

Sure, I have some plans to link to Wikidata. Wiktionary is a bit harder but also something we will look into at some point.

As an example, here is a word sense from dbnary:

Just to try it out, I added the dbnary URL manually to the corresponding lexical sense in my copy of EWN in VocBench3. Screenshot:

FWIW, here are two other screenshots from the VocBench3 UI. The current project (Open German WordNet) shows a lexical sense of the German lemma "Regal" ("shelf"@en, "rack"@en) that is linked to a dbnary lexical sense as skos:exactMatch.

A click on the URL shows the lexical sense from dbnary and its definition:
