This paper describes the knowledge representation model adopted in IDHS to represent the lexical knowledge acquired from the source dictionary. Once the acquisition process has been performed and the DKB built, some enrichment processes have been executed on the DKB in order to enhance its knowledge about the words in the language. Besides, the dynamic exploitation of this knowledge is made possible by means of specially conceived deduction mechanisms. Both the enrichment processes and the dynamic deduction mechanisms are based on the exploitation of the properties of the lexical semantic relations represented in the DKB. In the following section an overview of IDHS is given. Section 3 briefly presents the process of construction of the DKB. The knowledge representation model and the enrichment mechanisms are fully described in sections 4 and 5. Section 6 describes some inferential aspects of the system. Finally, in section 7, some figures about the size of the prototype built are presented. 2 THE IDHS DICTIONARY SYSTEM.
