Two use cases for Wiktionary RDF

Hello!

I recently found your very interesting projects as I was looking for 
semantically rich dumps of Wiktionary, and I wanted to tell you about my 
use cases.

I work for the Semantic Web Company (we are also partners in the LOD2 
project) and we have a term and phrase extractor, which we want to 
improve by enriching the extraction model with their various grammatical 
forms of the model's terms.

So additions we are most interested in are declinations, tenses and 
synonyms for German and English.
Another use case would be to use Wiktionary data to suggest translations 
of controlled terms in a thesaurus. So the available translations would 
be great to have in RDF, too.

Best regards,
Thomas

hm, those are not our primary interest yet, and a problem could be that
the way grammatically derived forms are listed is not standardized,
sometimes there is a special templates used (latin, for example "manus":
{{la-decl-4th|man}} ) sometimes they are on special Pages (for example
in german wiktionary the page "winken_(Konjugation)"). most pages dont
explicity list such forms. they could be generated... it could be hard
to be complete there.

yes that is planned

that is one of our next targets.

About this mailing list, was: Re: Two use cases for Wiktionary RDF

(I'm cross posting to dbpedia-wiktionary@...)

Hi Thomas,
interesting, that you posted on this list. It is the discussion list 
list for Wiktionary in general.
I did a mail count for this list for 2011 and this is the result:
29 mails total
11 were general announcements such as the Wikimania
10 were about Wiktionary issues
8 were about information extraction of Wiktionary (Mostly caused by us 
and the Wiktionary RDF Extraction announcement).

2010 looks similar.

I was wondering, if the extraction of data from Wiktionary could become 
a main topic on this list.

Shall we merge communities into this list?

1. There is a DBpedia Wiktionary  to RDF list with 18 members here:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dbpedia-wiktionary

2. Then some people might join from http://linguistics.okfn.org/
http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/open-linguistics
This is a Working Group for Open Data in Linguistics and there are maybe 
5-10 people there that are interested in extraction of structured data 
from Wiktionary.

3. People from many approaches such as  
http://code.google.com/p/wikokit/ (does not seem to have a mailing list)

Great idea! I'm pro. The bigger the knowledge-network, the more
opportunities.
