Title Making Dictionaries Visible, Accessible, and Reusable: The Case of the Greek Conceptual Dictionary API
Abstract Language resources of any type are of paramount importance to several Natural Language Processing applications; developing and maintaining, however, quality lexical semantic resources is still a laborious and costly task that presents various challenges. In this respect, there is an ever-growing demand for resources that are visible, easily accessible, inter-operable and re-usable. The paper presents work in progress aimed at the development of a web service and the integration of a semantic lexical resource for Modern Greek in it, with a view to enabling robust ‘search and retrieve’ case scenarios. Given a lexeme, the intended service returns lexical semantic information encoded in the conceptual dictionary. The web service and the dictionary jointly form an infrastructure that can be exploited not only by researchers interested in studying the lexicon of the Modern Greek language, but also in application scenarios involving deep semantic information.
