Galnet: the Galician WordNet. Applications in the fields of lexicology and terminology

Abstract

In this article we will present the different methodologies and resources which were used during the elaboration process of GalNet, the Galician version of WordNet. We will also present Termonet, a tool developed to consult and verify specialty lexicons extracted from WordNet in corpora. Finally, we will describe an experiment oriented to the automatic shaping of semantic areas by using lexical-semantic relationships in WordNet.
