STO: A Danish Lexicon Resource - Ready for Applications

Anna Braasch, Sussi Olsen


Abstract
This paper deals with the STO lexicon, the most comprehensive computational lexicon of Danish developed for NLP/HLT applications, which is now ready for use. Danish was one of the 12 EU-languages participating in the LE-PAROLE and SIMPLE projects; therefore it was obvious to continue this work building on our experience obtained from these projects. The material for Danish produced within these projects – further enriched with language-specific information - is incorporated into the STO lexicon. First, we describe the main characteristics of the lexical coverage and linguistic content of the STO lexicon; second, we present some recent uses and point to some prospective exploitations of the material. Finally, we outline an internet-based user interface, which allows for browsing through the complex information content of the STO lexical database and some other selected WRL’s for Danish.
