Obtain MultiWordNet

MultiWordNet is available both for academic and commercial purposes. If you are affiliated to a non-profit institution and are interested in a license for research purposes, please fill the form below with your data (they will be maintained in a database at FBK) and accept the agreement terms below (you will be contacted in a few days). The free license obtained through this form allows you to use MultiWordNet only for research purposes; it has unlimited duration and is granted only to non-profit institutions. For more information, please contact Manuela Speranza (mansperafbk.eu) at FBK.

If you are affiliated to a profit-making company, you can still obtain a temporally limited free research license if your company is involved in a research project funded by a public organization (e.g. a national or local government, or the European Commission). Such license allows for the use of MultiWordNet only within the framework and for the duration of the project. In all other cases, commercial licenses for evaluation purposes, for internal use and for re-selling are available. If you are interested in a research license for a profit-making company, or any kind of license for commercial purposes, please contact Manuela Speranza (mansperafbk.eu) at FBK.
