Abstract

Senso Comune is an open knowledge base for the Italian language, available through a Web-based collaborative platform, whose construction is in progress. The resource integrates dictionary data coming from both users and legacy resources with an ontological backbone, which provides foundations for a formal characterization of lexical semantic structures (frames). A nucleus of basic Italian lemmas, which have been semantically analyzed and classified, is available for both online access and download. A restricted community of contributors is currently working on increasing the lexical coverage of the resource.

Lexicons often omit any reference to ontological categories that are not lexicalised in a language, although it sometimes happens, as with EuroWordNet’s ILIs or FrameNet’s non-lexicalised frames.
 
8
In this respect, our approach is essentially different from OntoNotes [32], where multi-lingual corpora have been annotated with shallow semantic features based on the Omega ontology. Omega contains“no formal concept definitions and only relatively few interconnections” [33] while Senso Comune, conversely, is explicitly grounded on an ontological model (see Sect. 2.2).

Hyponymy, antonymy, troponymy, causality, similarity, etc.

There is yet another WordNet for Italian developed by a company, but it is not freely accessible.

Two teams of five linguists each, based in Rome and Bologna, under the supervision of Isabella Chiari and Malvina Nissim, were dedicated to this task.
 
21
For the sake of readability, we don’t go through the basic senses of the verb ‘to walk’, also assuming that s1 is adequately selected by the user.
 
22
Note that we may wish to distinguish descriptions of functions from actual ones, namely those functions which are performed at a certain time by a given object. In the above example we simplify this distinction only focusing on the latter case.
 
23
Uncertainty will be included only in future releases of the TMEO system.
