Information about Babelnet

Description from: https://www.babelnet.org/about

BabelNet is an innovative multilingual encyclopedic dictionary, with wide lexicographic and encyclopedic coverage of terms, and a semantic network/ontology which connects concepts and named entities in a very large network of semantic relations, made up of about 22 million entries. Conceived within the Sapienza NLP Group, engineered and maintained by Babelscape, BabelNet follows the WordNet model based on the notion of synset (for synonym set), but extends it to contain multilingual lexicalizations. Each BabelNet synset represents a given meaning and contains all the synonyms which express that meaning in a range of different languages.

BabelNet 5.2 covers 520 languages and is obtained from the automatic integration of:

• WordNet, the most popular computational lexicon of English (version 3.0).
• Open English WordNet, a fork of the Princeton Wordnet developed under an open source methodology (November 2021 release).
• Wikipedia, the largest collaborative multilingual Web encyclopedia (October 2022 dump).
• OmegaWiki, a large collaborative multilingual dictionary (January 2017 dump).
• Wiktionary, a collaborative project to produce a free-content multilingual dictionary (October 2022 dump).
• Wikidata, a free knowledge base that can be read and edited by humans and machines alike (October 2022 dump).
