Lexvo provides information about fundamental linguistic objects for use on the Semantic Web. We not only define global identifiers (URIs) for such linguistic objects, but also ensure that these identifiers are highly interconnected as well as linked to a variety of resources on the Web. Some of the main features up to date:
Identifiers for terms in specific languages
Linked to many external resources (WordNet, thesauri, ontologies, etc.).
Example: English 'school'
| Lookup |
over 7,000 language identifiers with names in many languages, links to script URIs, geographic region URIs, etc.
Examples: Spanish, Afrikaans, Oriya, Taungyo
script URIs identify scripts such as the Latin and Cyrillic scripts, Indian Devanagari, or the Korean Hangul system
character URIs based on the Unicode standard, linked to script URIs, with semantic information about CJK characters
Examples: U+5A34, U+0047 ('G')
also: ISO 3166-1 / UN M.49 geographical regions (example), WordNet 3.0 synsets (example), KangXi radicals (example), etc.
