Towards the Representation of Etymological and Diachronic Lexical Data on the Semantic Web

In this article we take a detailed look at a number of issues relating to the publication of etymological data as linked data. We then put forward our proposal for an RDF-based model for representing etymologies that, as we will show, helps to answer at least some of the problems and requirements outlined in the initial part of the paper. We also take a more general look at the representation of diachronic lexical data as linked data.
