Enhancing Lexicography by Means of the Linked Data Paradigm: LexO for CLARIN

This paper presents a collaborative web editor for easily building and managing lexical and terminological resources based on the OntoLex-Lemon model. The tool allows information to be easily manually curated by humans. Our primary objective is to enable lexicographers, scholarsand humanists, especially those who do not have technical skills and expertise in the Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies, to create lexical resourcesex novoeven if they are notfamiliar with the underlying technical details. This is fundamental for collecting reliable, fine-grained, and explicit information, thus allowing the adoption of new technological advances inthe Semantic Web by the Digital Humanities.
