  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 8387))

Abstract

We present a long term project aiming at the construction of a lexical database and ontology for Polish. The specific objective of the PolNet project is to provide a human-and-computer friendly description of the Polish language for direct application in language processing software.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Since very beginning PolNet has been realized as a team project involving many people, each contributing with experience and enthusiasm. In this group were: Agnieszka Kaliska, Bartłomiej Kochanowski, Paweł Konieczka, Marek Kubis, Jacek Marciniak, Beata Nadzieja, Tomasz Obrębski, Paweł Rzepecki, Grzegorz Taberski, Agnieszka Vetulani, Grażyna Vetulani, Zygmunt Vetulani, Justyna Walkowska, Marta Witkowska, Weronika Wojciechowska. Several are still active in the project.

  2. 2.

    By synset we mean a class of synonyms.

  3. 3.

    PolNet should not be confused with another wordnet project for Polish, i.e. “plWordnet” (Piasecki team, Wrocław) which uses intensively such methods in order to automatize (and speed-up) the synsets production process. Within the PolNet project, application of AI and statistical methods to accelerate the wordnet development will be considered at future stages, after having completed the hard core of the wordnet which will be used as the training resource for the sophisticated AI methods.

  4. 4.

    We use PolNet synsets as role values, but it is possible to use concepts from some general ontology, as e.g. Sumo, cf. Pease (2011).

  5. 5.

    “CITTA-ontology” to develop resources for tourism-oriented applications.

  6. 6.

    “Development of digital resources of Polish in the area of valency dictionaries towards the lexicon grammar oriented to computer applications in the humanities” (Grant of the Polish Ministry of Research and Higher Education/11H11 010080).
