| Abstract | This paper introduces GernEdiT (short for: GermaNet Editing Tool), a newgraphical user interface for the lexicographers and developers of GermaNet, theGerman version of the Princeton WordNet. GermaNet is a lexical-semantic netthat relates German nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Traditionally, lexicographicwork for extending the coverage of GermaNet utilized the Princeton WordNetdevelopment environment of lexicographer files. Due to a complex data formatand no opportunity of automatic consistency checks, this process was very errorprone and time consuming. The GermaNet Editing Tool GernEdiT was developed toovercome these shortcomings.The main purposes of the GernEdiT tool are, besides supporting lexicographersto access, modify, and extend GermaNet data in an easy and adaptive way, asfollows: Replace the standard editing tools by a more user-friendly tool, use arelational database as data storage, support export formats in the form of XML,and facilitate internal consistency and correctness of the linguistic resource.All these core functionalities of GernEdiT along with the main aspects of theunderlying lexical resource GermaNet and its current database format arepresented in this paper. |
