Working Group: WG2: Lexicon-corpus interface

Abstract: This work addresses the gap between lexical resources and corpora in the representation and analysis of multiword expressions (MWEs). Building on the UniDive COST Action, it proposes a Linguistic Linked Open Data (LLOD) framework that integrates lexicons, annotated parallel corpora, and knowledge graphs. MWEs are modeled using OntoLex-Lemon, while corpus attestations are encoded in the NLP Interchange Format (NIF) and CoNLL-RDF, enabling precise linking between lexical entries and textual occurrences. Cross-lingual relations are captured through standardized vocabularies, and all resources are deployed in a GraphDB environment for SPARQL-based querying. The approach is demonstrated on the ELEXIS-WSD dataset, showing how integrated infrastructures support multilingual exploration, interoperability, and advanced analysis of MWEs across lexicons and corpora.

WG2 Tasks: Task 2.2: Design of a lexicon-corpus interface, Task 2.3: Proof-of-concept lexicon encoding of MWEs
