Abstract

This paper describes the initial design of the Multilingual Central Repository. The first version of the MCR integrates into the same EuroWordNet framework, five local wordnets (including three versions of the English WordNet from Princeton), the EuroWordNet Top Ontology, MultiWordNet Domains, and hundreds of thousand of new semantic relations and properties automatically acquired from corpora. In fact, the resulting MCR is going to constitute the largest and richest multilingual lexical-knowledge ever build.
