Converting Language Resources into Linked Data

Abstract

In previous chapters, we discussed how to model linguistic data sets using the Resource Description Framework as a basis to publish them as linked data on the Web. In this chapter, we describe a methodology that can be followed in the transformation of legacy linguistic datasets into linked data. The methodology comprises of different tasks, including the specification, modelling, generation, linking, publication and exploitation of the data. We will discuss specific guidelines that can be applied in the transformation of particular types of resources, such as bilingual/multilingual dictionaries, WordNets, terminologies and corpora.
