About
Lexvo.org brings information about languages, words, characters, and other human language-related entities to the Linked Data Web and Semantic Web. The Linked Data Web is a worldwide initiative to create a Web of Data that exposes the relationships between entities in our world. Lexvo.org adds a new perspective to this Web by exposing how everything in our world is connected in terms of language, e.g. by considering semantic relationships between multilingual labels (like book or New York). Lexvo not only defines global IDs (URIs) for language-related objects, but also ensures that these identifiers are dereferenceable and highly interconnected as well as externally 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.).
Examples: English 'school', Chinese '朋友'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 (example), KangXi radicals (example), etc.
