Swesaurus – ett svenskt ordnät med fria tyglar
Lars Borin, Markus Forsberg · LexicoNordica · 2011
Swesaurus is a free Swedish wordnet currently under construction inSpråkbanken, University of Gothenburg. Swesaurus is constructedby reusing information about lexical-semantic relations in a numberof pre-existing freely available lexical resources: SALDO, SDB,Synlex and Swedish Wiktionary. In this article we describe how thisexisting lexical-semantic information is reused and enriched byutilizing the connections among the lexical resources. We focus inparticular on our experiments with turning the graded synonymyrelations of Synlex into fuzzy synsets in Swesaurus. The introductionof fuzziness into a wordnet raises many intricate methodologicaland theoretical questions, which are discussed and illustrated in thearticle.
