Linguistic vs Encyclopaedic Knowledge. Classification of MWEs from Wikipedia Articles

Abstract

This paper reports on the first steps in the creation of linked data through the mapping between the synsets of BTB-WordNet and the articles in Bulgarian Wikipedia. The task of expanding the BTB-WordNet with encyclopaedic knowledge is done by mapping its synsets to Wikipedia articles with many MWEs found in the articles and subjected to further analysis. We look for a way to filter the Wikipedia MWEs in the effort of selecting the ones most beneficial to the enrichment of BTB-WN.
