Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2014
A wordnet is an important tool for developing natural language processing applications for a language, but the manual creation of such a resource limits its development. This dissertation studied the automatic construction of Onto.PT, a large Portuguese wordnet, aiming to minimise the main limitations of existing Portuguese wordnets.

Automatic Creation of Ontology Using a Lexical Database: An Application for the Energy Sector

The development of ontologies is a task that demands understanding of a domain and use of computational tools to develop them. One of the main difficulties is to establish the appropriate meaning of each term. There are several lexical bases that can help in this task, but the problem is how doing this automatically. This paper presents a technique for

Creation of Lexical Resources for a Characterisation of Multiword Expressions in Italian

Proceedings of the Language Resources and Evaluation Conference, 2010
The theoretical characterisation of multiword expressions (MWEs) is tightlyconnected to their actual occurrences in data and to their representation inlexical resources. We present three lexical resources for Italian MWEs, namely an electronic lexicon, a series of example corpora and a database of MWEs represented around morphosyntactic patterns. These
