doi:10.5334/johd.145

Abstract

The dataset contains a list of 215,102 Latin dictionary forms (known as canonical forms or lemmas). The dataset is a set of 1,699,687 Resource Description Framework (RDF) triples that describe, using a series of Web Ontology Language (OWL) ontologies for Linguistic Linked Data, the morphological properties of these forms. The dataset is used to link together a series of corpora and dictionaries in the interoperable network of language resources published by the LiLa: Linking Latin project.
