[open-linguistics] Linguistic LOD cloud - help needed, now is the time to submit your data set

Thu Aug 2 13:19:23 UTC 2012

Hi all,

I decided to do an independent evaluation of what was in the LLOD, to
identify what needs to be done, and found that the situation isn't perhaps
as bad as the previous email suggests. My notes are here:

http://wiki.okfn.org/Working_Groups/linguistics/Resources_in_the_cloud

The following resources appeared to be acceptable (i.e., they exist, have
RDF, contain some useful data and had links to some other resource or to
data categories)

   - Cornetto
   - WOLD
   - W3C WordNet
   - DBPediaWiktionary
   - LemonWiktionary*
   - LemonWordNet*
   - Open Data Thesaurus**
   - DBPedia**
   - YAGO
   - Localized DBPedias**
   - OpenCyc
   - GOLD***
   - ISOcat***
   - Lexvo
   - Lingvoj
   - Glottolog/LingDoc*

* Sebastian has indicated that these resources may be buggy. There are no
issues here <http://code.google.com/p/mlode/issues/list> that make them
unusable however so I count them as good.
** DBpedia and Open Data Thesaurus are not primarily linguistics resources,
should they be included in the LLOD cloud?
*** IMHO categories and schematic information resources are vital part of
the LLOD cloud, I can't understand why Sebastian suggests they should not
be included!?

The following resources need to be entered into CKAN: (6/27)

   - WOLD
   - OLiA
   - POWLA
   - GOLD
   - ISOcat

The following resources should be removed (at least for the time being)
from the cloud diagram: (5/27)

   - EuroParl
   - NEGRA sample
   - QHL
   - PHOIBLE
   - ASJP
   - FrameNet

The following resources need attention: (4/27)

   - OLiA Annotations (nachhalt.sfb632.uni-potsdam.de times out... could we
   host elsewhere?)
   - OLiA Reference
   - POWLA (I coudn't find it...)
   - WALS

So In summary out of the 27 bubbles in the LLOD cloud 17 are usable and 4
can likely be quickly fixed. I have attached a version of the LLOD cloud
with these results attached. Please edit the Wiki page if you feel I have
got something wrong.

Regards,
John McCrae
