Rejuvenating the ItalianWordNet: upgrading, standardising, extending

This paper reports on recent activities carried out within the KYOTO project aimed at enhancing the Italian WordNet Language Resource. On the one hand we study the formalisation of this lexicon according to the LMF ISO standard and explore its application into a real-world scenario by means of representing it in the WN-LMF dialect. On the other hand, we report on a semiautomatic procedure to upgrade the connections of the lexicon to WordNet, which obtains over 98% accuracy.
