LexiPass methodology: a conceptual path from frames to senses and back
Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2006)
Abstract
In this paper we claim that an integration of FrameNet and WordNet will improve interoperability, user-friendliness and usability of both lexical resources. If the former provides a sophisticated representational structure compared to a narrow lexical coverage, the latter - on the other side - supplies a dense network of word senses and semantic relations although not supporting advanced accessibility (i.e., via frames). According to the integration perspective we present in the paper, we introduce LexiPass methodology, which combines Burckardt’s tool “WordNet Detour of FrameNet” with basic statistical analysis, enabling frame-guided search and extraction of domain synsets from WordNet.
