Word nets and domain ontologies in OWL

A cooperation of the projects HyTex and SemDok (research group "Text Technological Modelling of Information") with the GermaNet group of the University of Tübingen

In this cooperation we designed different representations of word nets (GermaNet, TermNet) in the Web Ontology Language OWL and therefore experimented with various modelling options. We also developed an approach for an OWL-based linking of general language and terminological word nets.

On this site you can keep track of our current work and view the results of the cooperative project.
