To guarantee the quality of the resource,
MultiWordNet data are manually checked by expert lexicographers.
It is of course of primary importance for us to receive
bug reports, comments, and advice of any kind.
If you are willing to contribute to the
improvement of MultiWordNet you should login at our
Access page. If you are not
registered yet, you can register as a user at our Registration
page .
A new Bug Report service is now active
directly from the MultiWordNet interface. It allows
the MultiWordNet user to submit proposals for changes
to the synsets.The proposals will be cheched by our
lexicographers and, if the changes are appropriate to
the MultiWordNet model, the synsets will be modified.
The MultiWordNet "Bug Report"
form is accessible through the
icon which is displayed next to each modifiable synset
in the multiset cards area in the right-hand side of
the MultiWordNet interface. The icon is available only
when the contributor is logged in and has selected a
particular synset from the overview in the left-hand
side of the MultiWorNet interface. It is possible to
send bug reports only for Italian synsets and for the
English synsets created by ITC-irst. It is not possible
to propose modifications to the original English Princeton
synsets.
The "Bug Report" form referes
to a synset and allows the MultiWordNet contributor
to propose to:
- add new words or delete existing ones
- add new phrases or delete existing ones*
- add examples of usage of words or phrases
- add or delete domain labels associated to the synset**
- add or modify the definition of a synset
- write comments
* With the term phrase we refer to a
free combination of words which is currently used to
express a concept. As these kinds of expressions are
not lexical units, they cannot be put in the synset
together with lexical units. Thus another data structure,
called "Phraset", is linked to a synset and
contains all the phrases related to that synset. As
an example, the Italian free combination of words "strofinaccio
dei piatti" is synonymous with the words "strofinaccio"
and "canovaccio" but it is not a lexical unit.
Thus, the English synset {dishrag, dishcloth} has a
corresponding Italian synset {canovaccio, canavaccio,
strofinaccio} which has also a phraset {strofinaccio_dei_piatti}.
** Each synset in MultiWordNet has been
labeled with at least one domain label (e.g. medicine,
sports, law, etc.), selected from a set of about two
hundred labels hierarchically organized. The MultiWordNet
contributor can choose one or more domain labels among
those available in the list and add it/them to the synset.
The "Bug Report" window also
reports the history of all the reports created by the
user.
