Applications of GermaNet II

After the success of the first GermaNet Workshop which took place in October 2003 at Tuebingen, the GLDV Conference provides an ideal opportunity to bring together wordnet researchers, developers and users for a 2nd GermaNet Workshop.

The building of wordnets and their application in natural language processing scenarios still plays an important role in Computational Linguistics (LREC 2004, ACL 2004, etc.).

This workshop aims at exchanging results and experiences as well as discussing desiderata and perspectives related to GermaNet resp. other wordnets.

We are looking forward to receiving papers and presentations on the following topics (contributions focussing on other wordnet-related issues are also welcome):

• GermaNet and other wordnets applied to natural language processing for e.g. Information Retrieval and Document Classification
• terminological extensions and applications of wordnets (inclusion of domain-specific vocabularies, term extraction, etc.)
• ontological extensions of wordnets (machine learning techniques for the acquisiton of semantic relations, merging wordnets with upper ontologies, etc.)

Extended abstracts should be submitted in plain text format or pdf. They should contain up to 500 words, not including the bibliography. Abstracts should be submitted via our electronic submission form.

Participants of the workshop should register for the GLDV Conference.

Requests should be directed to the Workshop organizers:
