Encoding information on adjectives in a lexical-semantic net for computational applications

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to describe how the Euro WordNet framework for representing lexical meaning is being modified within an Italian National Project in order to include information on adjectives. The focus is on the 'new' semantic relations being encoded and on the revisions we have made to the EuroWordNet Top Ontology structure. We also briefly discuss the utility of the information which is being encoded for computational applications.
