Abstract
This paper illustrates the transformation of GeoNames’ ontology concepts, with their English labels and glosses, into a GeoDomain WordNet-like resource in English, its translation into Italian, and its linking to the existing generic WordNets of both languages. The paper describes the criteria used for the linking of domain synsets to each other and to the generic ones and presents the published resource in RDF according to the w3c and lemon schema.
