Abstract |
FrameSQL is a web-based application which the author (Sato, 2003; Sato 2008)created originally for searching the Berkeley FrameNet lexical database. FrameSQL now can handle the Japanese lexical database built by the JapaneseFrameNet project (JFN) of Keio University in Japan. FrameSQL can search andview the JFN data released in March of 2009 on a standard web browser. Users donot need to install any additional software tools to use FrameSQL, nor do theyeven need to download the JFN data to their local computer, because FrameSQLaccesses the database of the server computer, and executes searches. FrameSQLnot only shows a clear view of the headwords grammar and combinatorialproperties of the database, but also relates a Japanese word with itscounterparts in English. FrameSQL puts together the Japanese and Englishlexical databases, and the user can access them seamlessly, as if they were aunified database. Mutual hyperlinks among these databases and the bilingualsearch mode make it easy to compare semantic structures of correspondinglexical units between these languages, and it could be useful for buildingmultilingual lexical resources. |
