<br></div><div>We are targeting the following resources:</div><ul><li>Mapping of a resource containing semantic roles to RDF and/or lemon. Resources such as FrameNet or VerbNet are here considered to be of particular importance</li>
<li>Conversion of existing resources in standard formats to RDF and/or lemon. In particular, we would be keen to see the conversion of a resource in LMF (<a href="http://www.lexicalmarkupframework.org/" target="_blank">http://www.lexicalmarkupframework.org/</a>) into lemon.</li>
<li>Creation of lemon lexica for existing Semantic Web ontologies</li><li>Extension of DBpedia's Wiktionary (<a href="http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Wiktionary" target="_blank">http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Wiktionary</a>) mapping, in particular in the following ways:</li>
<ul><li>Extension of the wrapper templates to new language versions of Wiktionary.</li><li>Better extraction of morphological information from the Wiktionary pages, in particular extraction of irregular noun plurals, verb forms and adjectival forms.</li>
