======================================
RESOURCE ANNOUNCEMENT
RELEASE OF BabelNet 1.1
http://babelnet.org
======================================

As an output of the "MultiJEDI" Starting Grant, funded by the
European Research Council and headed by Prof. Roberto Navigli,
the Linguistic Computing Laboratory of the Sapienza University
of Rome is proud to announce the release of BabelNet 1.1.

BabelNet is an "encyclopedic dictionary" and a multilingual
ontology created by mapping the largest multilingual Web
encyclopedia - i.e., Wikipedia - to the most popular computational
lexicon of English - i.e., WordNet.
The integration is performed via an automatic linking algorithm
and by filling in lexical gaps with the aid of Machine Translation.
The result is an "encyclopedic dictionary" that provides babel synsets,
i.e., concepts and named entities lexicalized in many languages
and connected with large amounts of semantic relations.

Version 1.1 comes with the following features:

* a fully renovated, appealing Web interface at http://babelnet.org
* 5.5 million Babel synsets!
* increased coverage of nominal and named entities
* improved Wikipedia-WordNet mapping and sense translations
* coverage of 6 European languages (coming soon: 40+ languages!)
* millions of pictures and Wikipedia categories associated with babel synsets
* linked to DBpedia


=== COMING SOON ===

* BabelNet as Linked Open Data
* coverage of 40+ languages (expected this spring)


=== WE ARE HIRING! ===

The Linguistic Computing Laboratory is hiring! A Ph.D. position is
open in the field of multilingual lexical semantics for highly
qualified candidates with an excellent Master's degree in computer
science, computational linguistics or related areas. The successful
candidate will join a young, dynamic research team (made up of 2
faculty members, 2 post-docs and 6 Ph.D. students) with solid
experience and proven excellence in NLP research. If interested,
please send inquiries to Prof. Roberto Navigli
(nav...@di.uniroma1.it).

En effet, ce projet prolonge et traduit Wordnet avec les données de Wikipedia (ou Wiktionnary ?).

La licence est CC by NC SA 3. Comme Wordnet, il y a un site et une version base de données + API.

Ils prévoient également de publier au format "Lemon RDF" que je viens de découvrir : http://www.lemon-model.net/
