GermaNet 15.0 Release

 

 

****   GermaNet Release 15.0    ****

 

We are pleased to announce a new release of GermaNet (release 15.0).

 
GermaNet is a lexical-semantic net that relates German nouns, verbs, and adjectives semantically by grouping lexical units that express the same concept into synsets and by defining semantic relations between these synsets. GermaNet has much in common with the English WordNet (http://wordnet.princeton.edu) and can be viewed as an on-line thesaurus or a light-weight ontology.
 
GermaNet has been developed and maintained within various projects by the research group for General and Computational Linguistics (Director: Prof. Dr. Erhard Hinrichs) at the University of Tübingen since 1997.
 

The most important extensions to this GermaNet release compared to the previous release are:

 
* New synsets and lexical units for all word classes have been added, resulting in 10,000 additional lexical units.
 
* New relations between synsets have been added.
 
* New and updated Applications and Tools:
    -- Python API (new)
    -- Java API (extensions)
    -- GermaNet Rover (search and semantic relatedness calculations web app)
 
* The HomePage has moved, and is now available in both English and German:

What is it about? 

Tour de CLARIN is a CLARIN ERIC initiative that aims to periodically highlight prominent User Involvement (UI) activities of a particular CLARIN national consortium. The highlights include an interview with one or more prominent researchers who are using the work of national consortium’s infrastructure and can tell us more about their experience with CLARIN in general; one or more use cases that the consortium is particularly proud of and any relevant user involvement activities carried out. Tour de CLARIN helps to increase the visibility of the national consortia, reveal the richness of the CLARIN landscape, and to display the full range of activities throughout the network. The content is disseminated via the CLARIN Newsflashblog posts and Twitter.
