Lexica

In the UNL framework, there are two major types of lexical databases: monolingual and bilingual.

Monolingual databases

The monolingual resources are the following:

• in UNL
  • The UNL Dictionary, or simply UNL^dic, which is a list of UWs along with their semantic features
  • The UNL Knowledge Base, or simply UNL^kb, which is a network with systematic relations between UWs
  • The UNL Example Base, or simply UNL^eb, which is a network with episodic relations between UWs
• in natural language
  • The NL Dictionary, or simply NL^dic, which is a list of natural language headwords with the corresponding morphological and syntactic features

Bilingual databases

The bilingual resources are the following

• The UNL-NL Dictionary, or simply UNL-NL^dic, which is list of systematic lexical mappings between UW's and natural language entries
• The UNLization Memory, or UNL Memory Base, or simply UNL^MB, which is a list of mappings between UNL and a given natural language
