Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 7816))

Abstract

In this paper we present BabelNet 1.1, a brand-new release of the largest “encyclopedic dictionary”, obtained from the automatic integration of the most popular computational lexicon of English, i.e. WordNet, and the largest multilingual Web encyclopedia, i.e. Wikipedia. BabelNet 1.1 covers 6 languages and comes with a renewed Web interface, graph explorer and programmatic API. BabelNet is available online at http://www.babelnet.org .
