The LiLa: Linking Latin project aims to build a Knowledge Base of language resources for the study of Latin (corpora, digital lexicons, natural-language-processing tools), based on the Linked Open Data paradigm. In this paper, we discuss the goals and motivation of the project. In particular, we focus on the role played by the lemma as a hub node that holds together the network of linguistic information. The architecture of LiLa is therefore based on lemmas and their morphological properties. The paper illustrates the strategies used to build a collection of Latin lemmas and the first experiments to link them to a set of textual resources (Latin treebanks).
