Lexical Markup Framework: an ISO Standard for Semantic Information in NLP Lexicons

Lexical Markup Framework (LMF) is a model that provides a common standardized framework for Natural Language Processing (NLP) lexicons. The goals of LMF are to provide a common model for the creation and use of such lexical resources to manage the exchange of data between and among these resources, and to enable the merging of a large number of individual resources to form extensive global electronic resources.
