RDALR 2012 - Workshop on Recent developments and applications of lexical-semantic resources

The workshop aims to provide a forum for discussing recent developments and applications of various kinds of lexical-semantic resources including wordnets, ontologies, framenets, electronic dictionaries, internet lexicons, and other collaboratively built lexical semantic resources. Lexical-semantic contents serve as valuable sources of linguistic information for research and applications in natural language processing. Successful attempts to integrate and merge lexical resources have led not only to the mapping of lexical databases of the wordnet and framenet type but also to the creation of online dictionary networks of different sorts. Enhancing usability also means to provide data for the human user by new sophisticated access interfaces as well as to make these data available for different kinds of NLP applications. We welcome papers on the design, construction, extension, maintenance, merge, and validation of lexical-semantic resources and their application in linguistic research as well as natural language processing.
