DEBVisDic: Instant Wordnet Building
Adam Rambousek, Aleš Horák · 2016
The semantic network editor DEBVisDic has been used by different development teams to create more than 20 national wordnets.The editor was recently redeveloped as a multi-platform web-based application for general semantic networks editing.One of the main advantages, when compared to the previous implementation, lies in the fact that no client-side installation is needed now.Following the successful first phase in building the Open Dutch Wordnet, DEBVisDic was extended with features that allow users to easily create, edit, and share a new (usually national) wordnet without the need of any complicated configuration or advanced technical skills.The DEBVisDic editor provides advanced features for wordnet browsing, editing, and visualization.Apart from the userfriendly web-based application, DEBVis-Dic also provides an API interface to integrate the semantic network data into external applications.
