Alan,

I = changed the subject line to more easily follow this effort.

<= /div>

Creativity in delivery is fine. The main thing is to associate bo= th the gismu relation itself, and each of the gismu places, to a specific W= ordnet synset and Wikipedia article URL.

Wordnet s= earch is at wordnet.princet= on.edu

Please make sure the wordnet "sh= ow database locations" option is selected, and provide the number from the = braces. The dbpedia entity can just be the wikipedia page URL.

e.= g.:

dunda {02199590} http://en.wiki...

dunda1 {10025730} http...

dunda2 {13265011} http= ...

dunda3 {09627906} http...

I'l= l do any necessary data conversion and formatting if it's reasonably clear = what each correlation is.

Thanks,

Brian = Eubanks

Hi Alan,

<= span>Thanks for your response and the crowdsourcing idea, and for linking &= nbsp;

to Jorne. As y= ou suspected, I did only receive one or two inquiries
about the linking effort.

I like your idea of splitting a Wordnet linking= project into specific

chunks, each one centered around a group of related concepts. I &= nbsp;

discovered a v= ery old mapping of gismu to Roget codes, which could be
a starting point. I think I need= to make this process super easy and
painless if I expect anyone to get involved.=

What if I created some web pages that would a= llow Lojban experts to

pick a gismu, then select related Wordnet or dbpedia entries from= a

list, and = automatically save it to a database?

We= could then make the jorne web service accept Lojban text, and

respond with related refe= rences from the Linked Data cloud. With this,
you can follow that data to English and ot= her Wordnets, Library of
Congress subject headings, wikipedia/dbpedia, and the rest of t= he
Linked Dat= a "cloud".
The Semantic Web conference = was fantastic! It was overwhelming, but in
a "too many sessions and not enough time" sor= t of way. The latest

tools are amazing, and adoption is reaching a critical mass. I am &= nbsp;

considering su= bmitting a talk for Semtech 2011 on why Lojban would
work well with the semantic web. Th= e due date is Monday, so I better
get cracking on it ASAP. Wish me luck!

As far as source code for my simple parse tree service= , it's a real

hack right now, but I will clean it up a little and put it on the

jorne sourceforge.

Last year I had intended to get more invo= lved in this, but ran out of
time to work on it. Now that there seems to be some interes= t from both
y= ou and Oren, and others, it's time to make this a reality.

Are you offering to own the farm animal words? (asking = rather
sheepi= shly...) ;-)
=

I will do farm animal words. = I'm not 100% sure what you need.
Taking a stab, I can start= with the things you list above, would you
like to be speci= fic about what you need or are you happy with my
being crea= tive in delivering it?

-Alan
