The Duden Ontology: An Integrated Representation of Lexical and Ontological Information

We report on a data model developed for the representation of lexical knowledge for the Duden ontology. The model is the result of a cooperation between the publishing house Duden and the software company intelligent views. Our general aim is to create an asset pool in which all the information present in the Duden dictionaries is integrated in order to support reusability for different print and electronic products, provide solutions for language technology applications as well as support the efficient maintenance of the Duden dictionary data.
