Extending Wordnet to Geological Times
Henrique Muniz | Fabricio Chalub | Alexandre Rademaker | Valeria De Paiva
Proceedings of the 9th Global Wordnet Conference

This paper describes work extending Princeton WordNet to the domain of geological texts, associated with the time periods of the geological eras of the Earth History. We intend this extension to be considered as an example for any other domain extension that we might want to pursue. To provide this extension, we first produce a textual version of Princeton WordNet. Then we map a fragment of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) ontologies to WordNet and create the appropriate new synsets. We check the extended ontology on a small corpus of sentences from Gas and Oil technical reports and realize that more work needs to be done, as we need new words, new senses and new compounds in our extended WordNet.

Semantic Links for Portuguese
Fabricio Chalub | Livy Real | Alexandre Rademaker | Valeria de Paiva
Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC'16)

This paper describes work on incorporating Princenton’s WordNet morphosemantics links to the fabric of the Portuguese OpenWordNet-PT. Morphosemantic links are relations between verbs and derivationally related nouns that are semantically typed (such as for tune-tuner ― in Portuguese “afinar-afinador” – linked through an “agent” link). Morphosemantic links have been discussed for Princeton’s WordNet for a while, but have not been added to the official database. These links are very useful, they help us to improve our Portuguese WordNet. Thus we discuss the integration of these links in our base and the issues we encountered with the integration.

Verifying Integrity Constraints of a RDF-based WordNet
Alexandre Rademaker | Fabricio Chalub
Proceedings of the 8th Global WordNet Conference (GWC)

This paper presents our first attempt at verifying integrity constraints of our openWordnet-PT against the ontology for Wordnets encoding. Our wordnet is distributed in Resource Description Format (RDF) and we want to guarantee not only the syntax correctness but also its semantics soundness.
