Content Interoperability of Lexical Resources: Open Issues and “MILE” Perspectives

Abstract

The paper tackles the issue of content interoperability among lexical resources, by presenting an experiment of mapping differently conceived lexicons, FrameNet and NOMLEX, onto MILE (Multilingual ISLE Lexical Entry), a meta-entry for the encoding of multilingual lexical information, acting as a general schema of shared and common lexical objects. The aim is to (i) raise problems and (ii) test the expressive potentialities of MILE as a standard environment for Computational Lexicons. 1
