  • Dictionary Users Do Look up Frequent Words. a Logfile Analysis
    Erschienen in: Müller-Spitzer, Carolin (Hrsg.): Using Online Dictionaries. Berlin/ Boston: de Gruyter, 2014. (Lexicographica: Series Maior 145), S. 229-249. Alexander Koplenig, Peter Meyer, Carolin Müller-Spitzer Dictionary users do look up frequent words. A logfile analysis Abstract: In this paper, we use the 2012 log files of two German online dictionaries (Digital Dictionary of the German Language1 and the German Version of Wiktionary) and the 100,000 most frequent words in the Mannheim German Reference Corpus from 2009 to answer the question of whether dictionary users really do look up fre- quent words, first asked by de Schryver et al. (2006). By using an approach to the comparison of log files and corpus data which is completely different from that of the aforementioned authors, we provide empirical evidence that indicates - contra - ry to the results of de Schryver et al. and Verlinde/Binon (2010) - that the corpus frequency of a word can indeed be an important factor in determining what online dictionary users look up. Finally, we incorporate word dass Information readily available in Wiktionary into our analysis to improve our results considerably.

At first glance, the answer seems rather simple (especially when the primary objective is to describe a language as completely as possible): it would be best to include every word in the dictionary.

In this paper, we introduce Wiktionary Matcher, an ontology matching tool that exploits Wiktionary as external background knowl- edge source. Wiktionary is a large lexical knowledge resource that is collaboratively built online. Multiple current language versions of Wik- tionary are merged and used for monolingual ontology matching by ex- ploiting synonymy relations and for multilingual matching by exploiting the translations given in the resource. We show that Wiktionary can be used as external background knowledge source for the task of ontology matching with reasonable matching and runtime performance.3 Keywords: Ontology Matching · Ontology Alignment · External Re- sources · Background Knowledge · Wiktionary 1 Presentation of the System 1.1 State, Purpose, General Statement The Wiktionary Matcher is an element-level, label-based matcher which uses an online lexical resource, namely Wiktionary. The latter is "[a] collaborative project run by the Wikimedia Foundation to produce a free and complete dic- tionary in every language"4. The dictionary is organized similarly to Wikipedia: Everybody can contribute to the project and the content is reviewed in a com- munity process. Compared to WordNet [4], Wiktionary is significantly larger and also available in other languages than English. This matcher uses DBnary [15], an RDF version of Wiktionary that is publicly available5. The DBnary data set makes use of an extended LEMON model [11] to describe the data.

Extracting an Etymological Database from Wiktionary Benoît Sagot Inria 2 rue Simone Iff, 75012 Paris, France E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Electronic lexical resources almost never contain etymological information. The availability of such information, if properly formalised, could open up the possibility of developing automatic tools targeted towards historical and comparative linguistics, as well as significantly improving the automatic processing of ancient languages. We describe here the process we implemented for extracting etymological data from the etymological notices found in Wiktionary. We have produced a multilingual database of nearly one million lexemes and a database of more than half a million etymological relations between lexemes. Keywords: Lexical resource development; etymology; Wiktionary 1. Introduction Electronic lexical resources used in the fields of natural language processing and com- putational linguistics are almost exclusively synchronic resources; they mostly include information about inflectional, derivational, syntactic, semantic or even pragmatic prop- erties of their entries.

  • Openstreetmap and Wikimedia: a Quick Overview
    OpenStreetMap and Wikimedia: A quick overview State of the Map 2018 Eugene Alvin Villar [[User:seav]] OpenStreetMap is like Wikipedia for maps OpenStreetMap is like Wikidata for geographical data OpenStreetMap has nodes, ways, relations, tags, keys, values, etc. Wikidata has items, statements, properties, values, qualifiers, etc. Data modeling discussions on the Wikidata:Project chat page are actually quite similar to discussions on OSM’s tagging mailing list. Wikimedia in OSM The OSM Wiki is powered by MediaWiki, the wiki engine developed by Wikimedia, and this also provides access to Wikimedia Commons images. Tag definitions on the OSM Wiki link to Wikipedia and Wikidata to help clarify features. OSM objects can link to corresponding Wikipedia articles and Wikidata items using the wikipedia=* and wikidata=* tags respectively. The OpenStreetMap Foundation has derived its Local Chapters agreement and Trademark Policy from corresponding documents from the Wikimedia Foundation. OSM in Wikimedia OSM has been used to create maps to illustrate Wikipedia articles and populate Wikimedia Commons. OSM has been used to create maps to illustrate Wikipedia articles and populate Wikimedia Commons. OSM powers the Wikimedia Foundation’s Kartotherian map tile service, which is used by the Kartographer MediaWiki extension and almost all other interactive maps on Wikimedia projects. The Wikimedia Foundation recently released internationalized map tiles for Kartotherian, leveraging OSM’s name:*=* tags. WikiMiniAtlas, an older MediaWiki plugin still in use in many Wikipedias, is also powered by OSM data, including 3D building data. Wikidata items on places can link to OSM relations using the OSM relation ID (P402) property. Wikidata items about features can link to equivalent OSM features using the OSM tag or key (P1282) property.
