SIMPLE: A General Framework for the Development of Multilingual Lexicons

The project LE-SIMPLE is an innovative attempt at building harmonized syntacticsemantic lexicons for twelve European languages, intended for use in different Human Language Technology applications. SIMPLE provides a general design model for the encoding of a large amount of semantic information, ranging from ontological typing, to argument structure and terminology. SIMPLE thus provides a general framework for resource development, where state-of-the-art results in lexical semantics are coupled with the needs of Language Engineering applications accessing semantic information
