Resumen de Visualizing sloWNet
With the increasing popularity of semantic lexica such as wordnets that are being developed for more and more languages the need for tools which enable displaying and management of their content has risen as well. Dictionary writing systems or tools for ontology management are not suitable for use with wordnets because they are concept-based and relational on the one hand but less formal and more language-oriented on the other. Several specialized wordnet tools have been developed but it is still very difficult to find an all-in-one solution that would freely available and would enable on-line browsing, editing as well as visualization of wordnet content in a mono- as well as a multilingual setting. The goal of this paper is to close this gap with a light-weight and easily portable, browser-independent wordnet tool called sloWTool which supports easy importing of new wordnets or wordnet-like databases from the standard formats such as LMF and DebVisDic XML. The tool also allows adding external, third-party resources, such as wordnet domain hierarchy, coarse-grained sense clusters, and a database of images that are linked to wordnet synsets.
