Abstract

The current state of the art in providing lexicalizations for ontologies is the lemon model. Based on experiences in creating a lemon lexicon for the DBpedia ontology in English and subsequently porting it to Spanish and German, we show that creating ontology lexica is a time consuming, often tedious and also error-prone process. As a remedy, this paper introduces Lemonade, an assistant that facilitates the creation of lexica and helps users in spotting errors and inconsistencies in the created lexical entries, thereby ‘sweetening’ the otherwise ‘bitter’ lemon.
