[lojban] Lojban Wordnet



Alan,

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

Creativity in delivery is fine. The main thing is to associate both the gismu relation itself, and each of the gismu places, to a specific Wordnet synset and Wikipedia article URL.

Wordnet search is at wordnet.princeton.edu

Please make sure the wordnet "show 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'll do any necessary data conversion and formatting if it's reasonably clear what each correlation is.

Thanks,
Brian Eubanks

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your response and the crowdsourcing idea, and for linking  
to Jorne. As you 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  
discovered a very 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 allow 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 references from the Linked Data cloud. With this,  
you can follow that data to English and other Wordnets, Library of  
Congress subject headings, wikipedia/dbpedia, and the rest of the  
Linked Data "cloud".

The Semantic Web conference was fantastic! It was overwhelming, but in  
a "too many sessions and not enough time" sort of way. The latest  
tools are amazing, and adoption is reaching a critical mass. I am  
considering submitting a talk for Semtech 2011 on why Lojban would  
work well with the semantic web. The 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 involved in this, but ran out of  
time to work on it. Now that there seems to be some interest from both  
you and Oren, and others, it's time to make this a reality.

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


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 specific about what you need or are you happy with my
being creative in delivering it?

-Alan
