| Abstract | This paper presents the PolNet-Polish WordNet project which aims at building alinguistically oriented ontology for Polish compatible with other WordNetprojects such as Princeton WordNet, EuroWordNet and other similarly organizedontologies. The main idea behind this kind of ontologies is to use wordsrelated by synonymy to construct formal representations of concepts. In thepaper we sketch the PolNet project methodology and implementation. We presentdata obtained so far, as well as the WQuery tool for querying and maintainingPolNet. WQuery is a query language that make use of data types based onsynsets, word senses and various semantic relations which occur in wordnet-likelexical databases. The tool is particularly useful to deal with complexquerying tasks like searching for cycles in semantic relations, findingisolated synsets or computing overall statistics. Both data and tools presentedin this paper have been applied within an advanced AI system POLINT-112-SMSwith emulated natural language competence, where they are used in theunderstanding subsystem. |
