Re: [edict-jmdict] Conjugations and PoS tags for だ, くれる

I didn't know about the Inter-Lingual Index. I will have a look at it.

mmmh, or not. Looks like you have to pay 10000+ euros to use their stuff in commercial Apps (and I only make like 100€ a month at the moment...:/ )

I am not sure where you are looking,  but the all new shiny share inter-lingual index that will be used by the open-multilingual wordnet/wordnet grid is based on this ancient proposal: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1023%2FA%3A1001134011927#page-2 and will be released under CC-BY (or possibly CC-BY-SA).  The only drawback is that it is not quite released yet :-).

Thanks for the tip (and for the open multilingual wordnet project).

My pleasure.

 

Sadly, because UWN/Menta has a non commercial clause to their license, they are a no go for me.
And  http://www.idilia.com/ looks interesting too but seems targeted at big business/association/corporations that can afford their price.

 
On my side, for my Apps that do some nlp processing (tokenizing, parsing, tagging with Japanese grammar, translations)
I'm  adding to Jmdict, links computed from Japanese & english wordnets :    Entry | Keb or Reb | Sense | Gloss <---> Surface | pos | (english/japanese)synset

But for my purposes, instead of adding wordNet synsets links to Jmdict,
I'm wondering if it wouldn't be smarter to add jmdict data (pos, misc, dial, field, pri, ...) to the japanese wordnets lexical entries

A reliable mapping between them effectively allows either.   Currently edict has more contributors than the Japanese wordnet due to its great community and charismatic leader (Jim :-), so it seems more doable to have the mapping information in edict, ...
