The UNL System comprises three different types of language resources: lexica, grammars and corpora. These resources are being provided mainly through the UNLarium, a linguist-friendly dabatase management system to provide dictionary entries and grammar rules to the several language modules participating in the UNL Programme.

Lexica

In the UNL framework, there are two major types of lexical databases: monolingual (in UNL only) and multilingual (in UNL and other natural languages). The monolingual resources are:

• The UNL Dicitonary, which is a flat list of UWs
• The UNL Ontology, which is a hierarchy of UWs
• The UNL Knowledge Base, or simply UNLKB, which is a network of UWs

The multilingual resources are the UNL-NL dictionaries, which are used to map UWs and natural language words or expressions.
