5 Swedish FrameNet++: an integrated network of lexical resources
Lars Borin · 2025
Swedish FrameNet++ was a decade-and-a-half-long research and develop ment initiative with the aim of creating a large and diverse computational lexical macroresource for Swedish (both modern and historical varieties), to be used in a range of automatic computational text processing applications.The resulting re source, also called Swedish FrameNet++ (SweFN++), forms a network of individual lexical resources, interlinked by the use of a set of formally structured persistent identifiers for word senses, lexemes (including multiword expressions), inflectional paradigms, and a set of lexical-semantic relations (synonymy, hyponymy, etc.).In this chapter we describe the history of SweFN++, its design principles, and its chief component resources, as well as its present-day successor, Språkbanken's Lexical Research Infrastructure.
